Ruth was an amazing host! She was extremely helpful when when we had trouble finding parking (just not used to city life! There was decent parking our whole stay) and had many small touches to make life easier. She also provided some local coffee beans that we loved. (I'm a huge advocate for all things small business) If you want to get an authentic feel for DC, this is the apartment for you. Only a few blocks from the metro, we could jump on to get anywhere pretty quickly. The neighborhood was nice, as we walked for hours trying to get out littlest to sleep and never had any bad feelings. So many perks, this little apartment is perfect for sightseeing in DC.
