Stephanie’s place is a great home base for a trip to DC. The location is convenient, within walking distance of several grocery stores, Eastern Market, and Capitol Hill. Balcony off the kitchen is an extra nice touch. The apartment itself is comfortable, kitchen fully stocked, with a nice front sitting room with big windows to chill out in after being out and about. The barber shop downstairs was open for business during part of our stay and i noticed no issues with any smell of cigarette smoke. Stephanie was very gracious and got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. Would definitely stay again.
