Susan did an amazing job getting us prepared for our trip to The Green Retreat. About a week before we arrived, she sent out a lovely email with local restaurants, attractions, and transportation options.

We love, love, loved the neighbourhood. The Green Retreat is a on a quiet street with little to no traffic which made our nights free of sounds from car horns/traffic. Just one block away there is a great variety of cafes, shops, and pubs to suit a great deal of tastes.

The apartment is a good size for two people and is well stocked with kitchen supplies (pots, pans, dishes) suitable for cooking a nice meal. We had a third guest while there and the pullout was perfect for accommodating him. And there is a lovely garden patio to enjoy when the weather cooperates!

Great place to stay if you enjoy urban hikes! We love walking and this apartment is a low intensity 30 minute walk to the White House and the monuments. Stop at The Coffee Bar before heading out for a lovely cup of freshly brewed coffee. If you don't like to walk--no problem, public transit, taxis, and uber are all very close by.
