Simply great! The apartment is spacious and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The neighbourhood is full of cool restaurants and bars that are significantly less expensive than the tourist traps in the center of the city. The location is perfect as you can reach the mall in about 20 minutes walk. The nearest metro station is just couple blocks away and connects you easily to pretty much every corner of the city. My encounter with Ilissa was very brief but she was very cheerful and recommended us a lot of cool places to check out. The next time I am in DC I am definitely staying at Ilissa's place!
