Melissa's place was perfect for our first trip to DC. The place was beautiful, comfortable, bright and immaculate. There were sparkling mineral waters and bottled waters in the refrigerator and the counter was stocked with snacks and coffee. The bathroom was stocked with very nice items that my wife described as "spa like." You could tell Melissa put a lot of thought into the way she set everything up. The place felt both private and in the middle of everything, which is exactly what we wanted. It was located within a couple miles of everywhere we wanted to go. Check in and out was easy with a keyless lock. Street parking was a little tricky at first as you would expect in a large city, but I eventually found a spot right in front of the house. I couldn't be happier with our visit. The next time we come to DC, I will try to return to Melissa's place.
