Larry's basement apartment is well lit, stylish and very modern with beautiful bathrooms and fabulous kitchen appliances (we were delighted to find a kettle for making tea☺). The area is very cool and we enjoyed eating at the restaurants on Florida/Seaton (?) - Bacio Pizza, Tyber Creek and the Thai restaurant were all good. Red Rooster looked good but we did not have time to try it. The metro station is about 10 mins away and it's only a few stops to the National Mall. If you give Larry your vehicle details before you arrive he will get a parking pass for you - there space across the street. Larry always responded quickly to my messages with information. We would definitely recommend his apartment as a great base for exploring Washington.
