We were greeted by a friend of the host's who shares part of the living space, bathroom and back area. He was kind.
The space is true to the picture. There is plenty of room for two people.
The weather was a little colder than predicted. We were cold in the apartment and when we informed the host by phone, heat was added. The neighborhood is lovely and metrorail is a block away. This was great! I would recommend Montmartre a French restaurant on 7th street...it was excellent.
Sharing the apartment was slightly uncomfortable and the mattress on the bed needs to be replaced--too soft. We rolled toward the center. My husband spent two nights on the couch. Lastly the heating system is quite loud.
