Tony made the apartment extremely welcoming to me and my boyfriend, whom were visiting DC for our first time together. He left tips and guides for us, included a parking pass, and was very responsive to questions that we had prior to our trip. The apartment was incredibly clean and well kept. For a few days, this was definitely all we needed. After long days of walking around DC, it was nice to have a quiet place to return to. The surrounding neighborhood is in a bit of a renovation. We live in a similar area in Ohio, so it was really interesting to see some of the houses and streets around Tony's place. We weren't far from the metro at all, about 2 blocks. Union station was only a few more blocks from that. The alley that you access apartment from was not loud or busy, so we always felt safe coming home at the end of the day. If you enjoy running - I was able to go on a long run one morning to all the monuments. National Mall was only a few miles away! We will definitely keep Tony's place in our minds to refer friends who are visiting the area. It was a great place to stay!
