Carolina’s apartment was conveniently located near my conference venue. Despite being relatively local, DC traffic would have required me to get up at 3am just to get to the venue. The value was worth it for a local to justify having at least two more hours of sleep and less stress. I paid for parking at CityCenterDC and took an Uber to the apartment (when I was carrying all of my things). It’s about a 5-minute ride and cost about $7-8 (and it’s about a 15-minute walk to the convention center). Very easy! The apartment was very clean and quaint. It felt like a spacious hotel room with a full couch—there was even a mini fridge! It was perfect for me to rest after 12 hours of conference activities on the first day without having to fight two hours of traffic on the way home. I was very grateful to be able to stay here on such short notice. Thank you, Carolina, for saving me a lot of trouble!
