We were looking for a place to stay in DC for about a month. It had to be in a good location that is walkable for things to do and not too close where it becomes very busy/noisy. Allan's place also included garage parking and allowed pets. Those 2 requirements already narrow your search down to very few places the NW DC area. Overall, the place is great and we would love to stay again. Its close walking distance to some restaurants/bars and not too far from the Shaw metro. The entire basement had everything we needed from cooking to toiletries. Would recommend staying if you have a dog and vehicle!
