I would highly recommend a stay in Barrett's place. The apartment is extremely nice and super comfortable, and Barrett included information about everything in the apartment -- I especially loved the very detailed instructions (and equipment and coffee beans!) for making a pour-over coffee, which I did. And though I've been to D.C. a fair number of times, I had not had a chance to explore the H Street Corridor neighborhood, which was at the same time extremely quiet, green, and filled with charming buildings, and with a very active nightlife, so a plethora of bar/restaurant/coffeeshop options. A really great find!
