Our stay at Carl and Larissa's was absolutely perfect. Our flight landed earlier than check-in, but they graciously allowed us to check in early so we didn't have to lug our suitcases around. The location was great - walking distance to transit at Dupont Circle and to so many great neighborhood restaurants and bars. The space was affordable, clean, safe and the bed was very comfortable (so important). I would highly recommend their place to anyone who wants to know what it's like to live in DC.
