We wanted to stay in Washington, D.C., close enough to walk downtown or grab the subway but near enough to all the fun restaurants and bars in Columbia Heights. This was perhaps the best situation we could have had. The place was perfectly appointed in terms of furnishing and appliances and is very secure. While we ended up not arriving by car, the availability of on-street parking was obvious. This is really a great location for anyone visiting Washington, D.C. Charlie is a very gracious host, met us on our arrival (despite our travel delays), gave us just enough information to make everything work, but not too much too overload us. He has prepared a great 3-ring binder regarding getting around and enjoying Washington, D.C., of which we took advantage. And we found some real gems in this neighborhood in walking distance including the speakeasy OKPB, the Laotian restaurant Thip Kao, and Le Caprice DC Cafe Bakery.
