Communication when booking and prior to arrival was excellent. The apartment is lovely and equipped with everything you need for your stay. It is located in a quiet street near to all local transport so you do not need a ca . Meseret & Sam had a parking permit for us on arrival and we parked right outside the apartment and there were always spaces in the street although we did not use our car the entire time we were there. The apartment is near a number of supermarkets with excellent choices of take away food if you want to eat in but not cook. On our last night we had a meal at Sam's restaurant, Ethiopic, which is a 5 min walk away. The meal was fantastic and we would recommend you try it as it was so good and our first experience of Ethiopian food and it will not be our last. Washington is an easy city to access with so much to see. you can walk to many of the sites/museums etc and we tended to walk to our first site in the morning then keep walking until our feet hurt and then got public transport back, usually the metro. If you want to save money while there, the tram on H Street will take you to Union Station and is free and you can then get a Circulator bus to most significant tourist sites and again this is free. Washington is an awesome place to visit and staying at Mesert & Sam's apartment is the perfect place to be based and they are great hosts.
