I stayed at Stuart's place while attending a convention in Washington and enjoyed it very much. In contrast to the hot and humid weather outside, the basement apartment felt cool and fresh. I found every appliance needed for a comfortable self sustained stay including umbrella, washing machine and flat iron. The bottle of wine and fresh fruit on the kitchen counter were very welcoming at check-in. The convention center was only a 15 to 20 minute stroll through the neighborhood away. Bicycle share stations all over town eased up moving around DC for sightseeing. I absolutely recommend staying in the stylish apartment in Shaw and would always come back for another visit.
