Trish is a wonderful host. We arrived late, around 11pm, due to multiple delays. Even though I felt bad about keeping her up so late, she reassured us that it was no problem. She had snacks on the table, coffee and cereal on the countertop, and milk in the fridge. This allowed us to have a bite to eat in the apartment before venturing out in the morning. i really appreciated this as we had NO time to pick up anything the night we arrived.
The apartment felt much larger than the pictures on the listing. It was very charming, with exposed brick walls. I. I slept on the comfortable Queen bed in the bedroom, while my daughter slept on the pull out couch. She says the pull out was very comfy.
Trish provided maps and visitor guides to help with the trip. She suggested points of interest that were within walking distance, and gave recommendations on shopping and tranportation.
The location is perfect. The Metro (red line), on Connecticut Ave, is just a short walk, and is surrounded by a variety of restaurants (Lebanese, Italian, Indian, Crawfish, American, McDonalds, Nandos) and a CVS. A little market is also open until 11pm nightly.
The Metro system in DC is much like the London Underground. You buy a card that is good for the Metro and Bus system. We used the Metro to return to the airport for under $4.
All in all, it was a great place to stay, with great hosts. I definitely would go back.
