Upon arriving at the Swann St apartment, I felt immediately at home. The pictures accurately represent this charming garden apartment which perfectly met my needs for the week. The back porch was also a nice private outdoor space which enabled me and my guests to enjoy the lovely weather. The apartment sits just off of 18th street which has many restaurants within easy walking distance and is also an easy walk from the Dupont Circle Metro station. Larisa (Carl's wife) thoughtfully provided some travel essentials along with a welcome bottle of wine, cheese and crackers. I would highly recommend this apartment to someone looking for a cozy alternative to a hotel.
