I rented the apartment for 2 nights for myself and two of my teenager sons. It was the perfect base for our short visit to DC and we liked everything about it. Kate and Dolph made us feel welcome, showed us the apartment and provided some good tips about where to go for food etc in the neighborhood - we went to Brookland Finest and the Italian restaurant Menomale and loved both places and the food. We also found a great tip in the guide that Kate and Dolph have put together, about the Capital Bike share system and a trail to get to the city in about 20 to 25 minutes. The neighborhood is nice and we enjoyed walking around, so it was the sort of local experience I wanted my boys to have.
