My husband and I enjoyed staying at Maricel's apartment over Christmas. It's cute, and in a great location--it's near DuPont Circle and Logan Circle. There's many excellent restaurants nearby, and for the tourists, it's about 10 minutes (driving) to the National Mall. The only issues we had was that our dogs were barking the first night, and we did our best to settle them; the apartment is only one level above the busy street with lots of windows. The windows are beautiful though so if you don't have a dog, this will probably not be a dilemma for you. Thank you, Maricel, for hosting us!
