We have a good week holiday at Jean-christophe's place. He is a kind and wonderful host. When we arrived, he had gracious left a welcome letter, a bottle of wine,a pack of nodle & a bag of biscuit. On the first day that we arrived, he sent us to supermarket for shopping and gave us a tour and suggestion about trip in D.C. He sent my friend to union station when she left to New York. Mr. Jean was responsive to question and inquiries.
Bloomingdale is a lovely area, safety and quiet at night. There are several local bar and restaurant near by. Jean-Christophe's apartment is as described and a good size in dining room. Beds are good and a nice kitchen.
Walking 5 minutes to bus 80 and G8 station, it takes to U.S. Capital and many museums. We would try to stay here when we visit DC next time. Highly recommend.
