This is an attractive, comfortable, well-appointed apartment. It's, I think, in the best possible location now in D.C.: a charming rowhouse in the more gentrified parts of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, 2 blocks from H street restaurants, coffee shops, cocktail bars, Whole Foods, and the free streetcar to Union Station; also an agreeable 20-minute walk to the Mall monuments and museums. It's authentic, safe, unpretentious, and visually appealing. The DC metro is not very densely packed in this part of the city so the closest stop is Union Station (about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute streetcar ride): but I found it easy to get around by Uber to more far-flung hubs in the city (Georgetown, Adams-Morgan, Tenleytown) because it's so centrally located. The apartment is in the basement of the rowhouse, with a separate entrance and fully equipped kitchen and bathroom; on the other hand, Lisa and Tom are upstairs and fully responsive by text. That's important to me politically because I do not want to be contributing to "touristification"; on the other hand, this allowed me enough independence to keep my own strange hours and habits without upsetting hosts' lives unduly (or curtailing my own uncomfortably). Lisa and Tom were very responsive about minor issues: a space heater that did not work (I arrived on a particularly cold day), a backed-up toilet (a plunger seemed to be the only gadget missing, which they remedied immediately), and my need to leave my luggage for most of the day of my departure (I had a very late flight home to Hartford and wanted to make the most of the day wandering): Lisa and Tom very courteously agreed to hold it for me till my evening departure for Dulles. I have only good things to say about Lisa and Tom (including their printed-out recommendations for neighborhood amenities and services) and this apartment. D.C. itself (which I had not visited in 10-15 years) is becoming a real city again and not just an impressive mausoleum (the return of residents to the city core, which has accelerated notably in the last 10 years, is very striking to anyone who remembers it as the desolate commuter town it was until fairly recently. I came across an eye-opening sign on H Street, which explained and showed in remarkable pictures the devastation of the post-MLK assasination race riots in 1968, from which the street did not start to recover until 2005! As an additional recommendation for Sunday brunch, in an attractive space that features fresh, well-prepared food (including superb breads baked on the premises) with a Swiss bent and friendly hospitality, check out Stable on H street (unlike more well-known spots, in March 2019 it was not necessary to make a reservation).
