Alan's place is the real deal. When my wife and I showed up in D.C. he had everything already set up for us. The apartment was exactly as advertised. What you see in the pictures and hear in the description is what you get! The apartment is really comfortable (warning: if you're staying for awhile be careful as you will get attached and want to stay forever).

This place is in a vibrant area with many interesting places to eat and drink. For those of you who like to save money, there's a 10 minute walk to the nearest grocery store. Anything you can think of including the White House or Verizon Center (where Wizards and Capitals play) are within a mile distance. You can honestly walk or take a cheap Uber ride anywhere.

The best part about renting from Alan is privacy. You are left alone and not bothered by him or anyone else -- it's truly a getaway. He's always around if he's needed.

Bottom line is If you like city living and an excellent pad with all updated appliances and tech, then Alan's spot is for you.

I am definitely looking forward to coming back to D.C. and renting from Alan again, as I'm a sucker for decked-out brownstones in the city.
