Alan's place in Shaw was exactly the kind of D.C. experience that we were looking for. Following his suggestions, we were able to explore a local side of the city that we would not have had with a traditional hotel stay. The apartment is exactly as shown in pictures and truly warm and welcoming. We had everything we needed for our brief stay and then some. Alan was an excellent communicator and made sure that everything we needed for a comfortable and easy stay was in place. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone visiting the D.C. area. Thank you!
