The family was gracious, responsive and kind! We were greeted at the door by Cristina's sweet mother; she eased our transition from a long day on the road with a warm smile. Cristina's husband took my husband to get the parking permit, and offered a brief tour of the neighborhood. Cristina answered every text immediately, and offered maps to all the places I sought. The apartment is just like it looks: well kept, clean, modern furniture & comfy beds! Our family of four had been on the road for almost two weeks, so it was great to have the different rooms for space and sleeping. We returned the car and walked the 15 minutes to the Metro at Eastern Market (a fantastic corner of shops and restaurants, alive with DC living). The neighborhood is adorable, safe, & charming. We were there in Mid July, 95 degrees plus humidity, and the apartment was quite comfortable. It was an easy place to stay and we slept well!
