Wonderful apartment! Wonderful location! Wonderful hosts. We would definitely want to stay there again! We, a party of three, myself and two foreign guests, had a wonderful 4 ½ day stay in Marina’s apartment.

The location was wonderful, but first, I’ll tell you about the apartment.

The apartment was clean, spacious, very brightly and attractively decorated. It had all the amenities anyone would need, including free wi-fi and a laundry machine. The apartment was nicely laid out. A large bedroom with a large bed and spacious closet at one end of the apartment. Next to that, a nice bathroom. Next to that, more closet space in the hallway. Then a large, beautiful kitchen with lots of counter space and cupboard space, and good knives and other utensils for cooking. And just beyond the kitchen, at the other end of the apartment, a large dining room/ living room combination with attractive furniture that made into sleeping spaces for 2 or 3 people, and they also provided a roll-away bed for one more person, if we wanted to use it. The convertible furniture was so comfortable for sleeping that we never used the roll-away bed.

The hosts Marina and James were very friendly, very accommodating, very helpful, straightforward and articulate in their instructions, suggestions, and recommendations. I would have liked to have spent more time with them because they seemed like the kind of people I would want to become friends with. While walking one day, I happened to injure my knee and couldn’t put any weight on my left leg. James and Marina went out and bought a pair of crutches for me.

They lived right upstairs and were easily available by phone if we needed anything or had any problems with the apartment.

They provided some food items and beverages and laundry soap to get us started and also provided a helpful information notebook with maps, recommendations and suggestions for nearby grocery stores, cleaners, restaurants, Metro stops, etc.

The apartment was very comfortable. There was a pass through window between the kitchen and the dining area.

The location was great. It was about a 20 minute walk from Union Station, a short walk to the Capitol. There were several restaurants, a bar, and a Metro station at the end of the block. We were able to walk all over Washington from the apartment.
