I traveled to DC for a conference at the Marriott Wardman. Rather than stay at the conference hotel, I chose to stay within commuting distance in Merry and Paul Pearlstein's apartment. It is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. It's located on a quiet street not far from Connecticut Avenue. Easy to get to the Metro Red Line or hop on a bus downtown. The kitchenette has everything you need and they even provided just enough fare to have a good breakfast and a snack! They welcomed me on arrival (even though I arrived late in the evening). It was such a relief to stay in such a pleasant place and not have to stay at a conference hotel! I felt rested after every evening there and ready to face long days of conferencing! The private entrance to the apartment meant that I could come and go without bothering them and without worry. It was a perfect landing spot for a DC visit!
