For us, this was a perfect location and setting for an extended stay in Washington, D.C. --- close to family, hosts who offer and maintain a very comfortable, clean and thoughtful space, and a convenient location to tourist sites. The garden apartment is located near a fairly busy intersection on a convenient bus route yet street noise was never a factor. The apartment has nice street appeal with attractive landscaping. Good insulation and/or landscaping kept the apartment very quiet from outside sounds. There is a washer/dryer combo that allowed us to wash clothing several times during our 18-day stay. Iñigo and Joe even provided laundry detergent. There is a four-burner cooktop, a full-sized refrigerator, toaster and microwave ovens and an electric coffee pot that allowed us to eat in for breakfast and many evening meals, too. One aspect that we really appreciated after having spent 2 1/2 weeks here is that the space has been thoughtfully divided; one of us could wake early, bathe, eat, even watch television with a minimum of disruption to the other person. Or, conversely, bathe, retire and read without being bothered by the television or the shower. Because we had an extended stay, we appreciated the thoughtfulness of dish soap, cooking oil, magazines, many visitor brochures/maps, coffee, and kitchen towels/sponge/dishcloth. When the sprayer hose broke on the kitchen sink, our hosts fixed the problem the same day. Beyond all the conveniences, Iñigo and Joe were welcoming, warm and helpful when we spoke to them in person. We intend to stay here on future visits!
