The hosts made sure we had everything we needed to get started for the first couple days -- coffee, tea, soap, etc. They were also very quick to respond to any queries about our arrival. They immediately brought anything we needed -- even things that are nice, but not necessary, like a laundry-drying rack. The kitchen is very well stocked, as are the linens.

The neighbourhood is great! Both Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan! Just steps from loads of fantastic restaurants, bars and shops, and a few blocks to the metro. It's a very happening area, and we found nearly everything we needed there. You can also walk to Georgetown, the White House, the Zoo, or 14th with Trader Joe's, wine shops, bars, restaurants, etc.
