Crystal was a wonderful host. The apartment was comfortable and very well appointed. It was large enough for a family of 4 with 2 adult children. Our son slept on an ingenious pull out trundle couch that was far more comfortable than any sleeper sofa. We cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen and ate at the table which we later converted into a great spot for cards and games.
The neighborhood is in the process of gentrification making it a "real" neighborhood. We easily walked to the grocery store and metro. There are many restaurants within a 6 to 8 block radius. The location was very easy for sightseeing as well as shopping with easy access to 295 and 395.
Crystal was also very helpful with a few items we left behind. We would definitely stay there again and hope to soon.
