This place is as described & as pictured...which is to say, lovely, comfortable, clean, well maintained. Traveled with my daughter for college visits in dc. Felt safe in the neighborhood & walking around. Apartment was enough space for both of us. Yes, it is a garden level apartment, but hardly basement like... place was bright in the daytime, plenty of light and had GREAT air conditioning. 1 mile walk to the Capitol & Supreme Court. Hosts were quick to answer my many questions. Perfect place just off the beaten path.
