My wife and I loved our stay at Carolyn's place in the Eastern Market neighborhood. This is a spacious studio basement apartment. It is very new and very clean. Carolyn surprised us with a welcome bottle of wine, snacks and bottled water (sorry to mention this, Carolyn, if this is not a regular welcome package.) The kitchen is stocked with a K-cup machine and an ample supply of K-cups. The pictures on the website tell a very accurate story of what the place looks like.
Eastern Market is an amazing neighborhood, so full of life and great places to roam. The apartment is only about two blocks from the Metro station and a Trader Joe's store. We walked to our visits with the Capitol, Library of Congress and Supreme Court. There is a weekend flea market that is not to be missed.
The neighborhood and apartment are dead quiet at night and we slept very soundly. However, as it is the basement, and there is a family living upstairs, we were greeted with the sounds of the family each morning. My wife found the pitter patter and children's voices charming. I found that they made a pretty good alarm clock, as our days were packed full of things we wanted to do.
With that being the only caveat, I fully recommend Carolyn's apartment. If you can't get in here, stay nearby in the Eastern Market district. We can't imagine staying anywhere else.
