Brian's place is great! Fantastic location with some good local eateries and bars less than 10 minutes away on foot. The Capital / Library of Congress is about 10 - 15 minutes on foot, with the Smithsonian and the mall probably about 20. The apartment is nice. It's not huge, but totally sufficient for my girlfriend and I for a couple of days. It's clean, comfortable, has a washer / dryer, everything works, etc. Brian was easy to work with. He wasn't in town while we were there, but was very good with regards to communication, giving us check in / check out instructions. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a couple of days in DC.
