Alan has a beautiful place that is within a 10 minute proximity to all of the monuments and museums in DC.
The unit is located in the basement of what appears to be a two story attached townhouse. It has been recently remodeled with all amenities included...full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, living room with TV and fireplace, fully remodeled bath, and one bedroom with TV. It is tastefully decorated and maintained very clean.
My only complaint is the lack of available parking. Unfortunately, street parking is the only option and it's usually taken by others who live in the neighborhood. This can be frustrating if you have a car.
Other than the above mentioned hiccup, I highly recommend staying at Alan's place. You won't regret it.
