Crystal's apartment is everything she advertised. The accommodations are roomy and comfortable. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment was wonderful (even the detergent was thoughtfully provided). We became adept at using the Metro, located less than two blocks from the apartment, to move quickly to the Mall. Crystal provided Metro cards, so we were spared the expense of purchasing the cards. There are excellent restaurants on 8th ST and a full service grocery store was only 2 blocks away.
Crystal was readily available to answer questions and make suggestions. She even provided Halloween candy for the Trick or Treaters who came to our door. And snacks for our late night nibbling. Staying in Crystal's apartment added to the enjoyment of our visit in D.C. Highly recommended.
