We had a wonderful stay in Washington DC, and were very happy with the accommodations. The space is beautifully appointed and practical, including key kitchen items (dishes, pots and pans, the basic range of gadgets, brand new dish sponge, ice in the freezer) so that we could cook some of our own meals. We were only a short walk from restaurants, groceries and everything else we needed -- which was great, because the weather was blisteringly hot! We never met the hosts, but check in and check out were very smooth. The only slight challenge (no fault of the owners') was that we could hear activity in the unit above. This was only really noticeable on the Friday night of our stay, when I suspect they were hosting a pretty big group, and we had turned in early. Overall, highly recommend and we would certainly stay here again!
