Corbin’s place is great. It’s spacious, especially given that it’s a basement apartment in DC, and the price was a great value. My trip was during a bit of a cold snap, but Corbin provides plenty of space heaters for you, and extra blankets if you need them. He also has snacks, some breakfast food, and bottled water in the fridge, and for meals, he had plenty of suggestions.
The apartment is about a 5-10 minute walk to the Stadium-Armory Metro stop, and is a slightly longer walk to the closest CVS, Aldi, and Safeway, so I never had to use my car. The walks to the Metro is almost completely flat with elevator access, but there is a small hill on the way to the grocery stores, if accessibility is an issue. The neighborhood itself is residential, so there are a few restaurants nearby (but sadly a lack of coffee shops for fellow coffee snobs), but good food is just a Metro stop or two away. The standard attractions (museums, National Mall) are several stops away.
Given the price of the apartment and the proximity of the Metro, and the cleanliness and good recommendations, I think Corbin’s apartment is a fantastic value.
