We spent nearly a month at this apartment on the ground floor of an1880s/90s house over Christmas and New Year. Owners are a paper conservator and a landscape gardener (indeed, there are many charmingly indiosyncratic domestic front gardens in this neighbourhood). Quite a find. Surprisingly light with its south facing bedroom (so useful in the winter) but also plenty of controllable layered lighting in the rooms. Amazingly full of all the household stuff you usually need to buy from scratch when you rent. Good quality furnishings including some antique in a mix of 1960s-meets-Arts & Crafts. Full size cooker and independent heating was a boon as Washington froze. Really handy (four mins walking?) from chic Eastern Market (even an apple specialist at weekends) and try Hayden's (run by George) for your wine, bourbon (they even have Noilly Prat). Nice buzz all round with Capitol Hill singletons frequenting the several good restaurants roundabouts here (Montmartre is the reliable neighbourhood French hard by Eastern Market). We had a great time; returning a certainty...
