Carl and Larisa were wonderful hosts. Their apartment was clean, cozy and on one of the most charming streets of D.C. Larisa thoughtfully set up the living space to include everything you would need in a home away from home - they welcomed me with wine and treats and the apartment was stacked with everything from cooking tools and blenders to practical items like hairdryers and irons. Most importantly, Larisa was warm and super-responsive to questions and I always felt comfortable during my stay. This apartment is a great value and I'll miss it!
