We had a great stay at Natasha's place. It is in a quiet neighborhood in the Rock creek park area, which means lots of trees and greenery nearby. It is also quite easy to get to all the sights: easiest is to catch the S2 bus from 16th street (about ~10-15 min walk) which stops a block away from the White house, or right by the Farragut North station for transfer to the Red line. Or walk to the Red line's Van Ness station (about 30 min). For this, we found it easiest to take the Soapstone valley trail (you'll find it on Google Maps) since Tilden street is quite a steep climb! In any case, for either option Natasha made SmarTrip (DC Metro) cards available on which we could just load some more value. And she provided all the maps and brochures you could ever need! The apartment is ideal for a couple, and has all the necessary amenities. I'd definitely recommend a stay here!
