Melissa's apartment fit the bill perfectly for us -- two couples needing a place for two nights after attending a wedding in DC. The apartment was exactly as shown in her listing: clean, well maintained, & attractive, -- AND the fridge was (unexpectedly) well stocked. The neighborhood was equally delightful: everyone was friendly & cordial.

For us, the location worked quite well, being just outside the hectic downtown areas, but near the major Interstate arteries. Street parking was ample and close, although you'll need to pay careful attention to parking restrictions for the inbound morning and outbound evening traffic.

The apartment is on the second floor, so take that into account for your luggage.

There's plenty of neighborhood shopping within a short driving distance, should you need food, toiletries, etc. We didn't need to use public transportation, but it seems to be convenient & frequent. We used the Eastern Market Metro station (8th & Pennsylvania) as a convenient rendezvous spot to meet other family members and to find some tasty dining. (There are a lot of good choices.)

And, of course, a word of appreciation for Melissa and her husband. It was easy to stay in touch with her as our visit approached, and she replied quickly when we exchanged messages. Her attentive personal touch made it such a pleasure to meet & work with her.
