We stayed for the weekend with you teenage daughter and son, who was on a college visit for American University. Carlton was very communicative before we got there and also during our stay. The apartment is exactly as described in the photos and quite spacious! This worked out very well for our family of four. I also appreciated how roomy and comfortable the living room is -- there is actually one more leather chair, as opposed to two in the photo. With the couch opened up, there was room for all of us to watch TV. We did hear some footsteps from the apartment above but only for a short time and early in the evening. It was not a negative factor at all. The neighborhood is close enough to downtown and only a 20-25 minute drive or so from American University. We appreciated the funkiness and diversity of the area and felt very safe walking to the subway. We also found some cute restaurants nearby on 11th street that Carlton recommended. All in all, great place - clean, modern and affordable!
