This is probably one of the best AirBnB places we have stayed in, if not the best! Spacious apartment with everything a couple needs to make seeing Washington DC a delight. The Metro is close by (5 minutes walk) and the free DC Circulator is a 15 minute walk away. U-street is close by if you want to eat out and the Giant Food store is a short walk south of the Shaw Metro station. I would not hesitate in recommending Alex's place to anyone visiting Washington DC.
