My mom and I stayed in Alex's little apartment and it was ideal for exploring the Capitol. Perfectly and scenically located in Capitol Hill, we were one or two miles from everything. Check-in was seamless and he accommodated our early arrival after taking a red-eye into the city. The apartment has all of the things one might need (iron, heater--it got chilly at night for us Californians, fan, cups, ice, ironing board, hangers, soap, extra blankets and towels, lotion, cleaning supplies, coffee, creamer, wifi--it's exactly as described). So so so so appreciated!!! Alex reliably communicated with me before, during, and after our stay. I highly recommend staying at this apartment! Great city, great host, great apartment. Next time I'm in D.C. I would not hesitate to stay at Alex's place again!!
