We four Aussies thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Washington. The location of Alex's apartment is great, with just a short walk to the free DC Streetcar, which takes you up the road to Union Station. Hop on the Circulator for $1 for a ride up the mall. Two supermarkets within walking distance made shopping easy. The beds were comfortable, the rooms well-furnished and the bathrooms roomy. Alex attended to our minor requests promptly and enthusiastically. A great find.
