As I write this review, I am preparing to spend my last few weeks in the studio belonging to Larisa and Carl, and I am so sad to be leaving. After finding out at the last minute that I was able to renew my contract as a travel nurse and could stay in DC, Larisa was so kind to make arrangements for me to move into her studio unit after having stayed in her garden apartment. This unit is so cozy and exactly what you need for a stay in the city! The kitchen, though on the smaller side (it is a studio after all!), has everything you need, including a Keurig, Vitamix, built in oven, large fridge with freezer and a nice sized table that you could easily use as a desk if in town for a work trip. The bed is extra comfy and isn't a murphy bed like most beds that you see in studios in the city! There is an extra large closet which is nice if you are there for an extended stay like I was. The bathroom has a great shower and is very nicely tiled. I love the extra security of the front door to the rowhouse with a keypad, as well as a personal key to my unit inside the foyer. My favorite feature of the unit by far is the private outdoor patio. With flowers, greenery, outdoor lights and a table and chairs, it is absolutely perfect for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. Added bonus, there is afternoon shade so it isn't too hot in the summer months. Laundry is convenient as well, right down the steps where you can store your laundry supplies. Central AC is certainly a luxury in a place like this and is so wonderful! The location of the house is absolutely ideal. Right in the heart of Dupont, only minutes from Logan Circle, Adams Morgan, or a short cab or uber ride away from Georgetown. Easily walk to Whole Foods, the post office, dry cleaners, restaurants and great shopping.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Larisa and Carl as landlords. They have been so amazing and accomodating! I am so lucky to have found such great people to deal with. I will always consider this house to be my little slice of DC, and will certainly be back if I am re-assigned in the city.
