This apartment is in a great location, just a block from a good Thai restaurant with outdoor seating on 1st street, with all the amenities we needed for relaxing after a long day of tourism. Our only downside was not being able to figure out how to get to local TV stations on the TV, but we didn't come to DC to watch TV anyhow, so that's only a small downside, and we didn't contact our hostess to ask what we were doing wrong anyhow. We appreciated the parking permit Alison provided ahead of time and easily found nearby street parking when we arrived Tuesday mid-afternoon. We just left our car parked the whole time we were there and used the Metro or walked to tourist sights. Alison was also kind enough to let us enter as soon as we arrived rather waiting til 4 p.m., so we appreciated that convenience. I had been concerned based on what someone else had commented that we might not be in control of the temperature, but we had separate controls for the AC in the bedroom and in the living room, so we could set the cooling temperature for whatever we wanted. We'd stay here again in a minute!
