Alan was a great host and the apartment was very comfortable. The heated bathroom towel rack and floor was a treat. I had the bedroom and guest had pullout couch. Both were very comfortable. It was a block from Metro station and bus service to downtown DC was also helpful. We felt relatively safe in the area as two senior women. We did not venture out at night though. Honestly I would have been a little nervous. But I felt safe once inside. Good security features. Overall I would definitely suggest this apartment for fellow travelers.
