If you are visiting Washington DC, stay here! This is a superb apartment in an incredible location. As a researcher in the Library of Congress, I was just steps away from the library and a block to the Capitol. The metro is at the end of the street, and Eastern Market is just a short walk from your door. The apartment was immaculate - beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and full of thoughtful little extras (little toiletries, teas and coffee, local maps and guides, a few essential groceries). The apartment is very well equipped, with everything you might need for a short or extended stay. There is a dishwasher, washing machine, a great oven/hob, microwave, full fridge and freezer, and the most wonderful open fire. Having free wireless internet is a real bonus. Not all apartments provide such a comprehensive package. Marina and James really have thought of everything. They are absolutely wonderful hosts. Kind and thoughtful, they really made us feel welcome and at home. Both are fascinating people, and it was a pleasure to get to know them. Just one example of their kindness: they left us a card, some sparkling wine and some chocolates on New Years Eve. This is an amazing apartment, with generous hosts. You really should stay here - you won't be disappointed. We'll back back to DC, and when we do go back, we'll be staying here!
