This lovely garden apartment in the Mt. Pleasent neighbor is surrounded by quiet residences. The apartment was impeccably clean and had high end appliances and very comfy beds. We greatly appreciated the air conditioning during DC's summer heat (although I'm told we had a relatively cool week). Tess and her husband were very responsive to the few requests we had and were respectful of our privacy. We did not use the patio area as it was too hot. We found parking on the street close by except for one night when we got home late and were further away, but not a big deal. There are 3 steps up to the garden walk ( lit by solar lamps at night) and 3 steps down to the apartment, so might be a challenge to those with mobility limitations. Overall it was a great place to stay while we visited with our college daughter and saw the sights of DC before she graduates next May.
