Our experience with Kara and Susan was excellent from the moment we first made contact about the apartment. We corresponded primarily with Kara before we arrived. She recommended neighborhoods to check out, transit options, grocery stores, etc. A few days before our arrival, we got a message from Kara and Susan asking about our coffee and tea preferences. Then, we got a message that Susan would pick us up from the nearby Metro station when we arrived. So, we felt more than welcome! When she picked us up, Susan was friendly and helpful. The apartment itself was just right! Cute, clean, cozy, and well-stocked (including great quality coffee and tea!). The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The apartment and neighborhood were quiet. The location in Takoma, DC (right on the border of Takoma Park, MD) was great for us. Easy to get around the neighborhoods on foot, and very fast access to the Metro. We also were able to easily access rides from Lyft, and we also were able to pick up a Zipcar a few blocks from the apartment.

Kara was away while we were visiting, so Susan was our point of contact. She answered our questions (by text) quickly, and always offered additional information and recommendations. Our only regrets were that we didn't get to meet Kara and weren't able to spend more time with Susan and the cats!

We highly recommend this place and hope to stay again on future trips to DC.
