Alan was so delightful to work with pre, during, and post visit. My two girlfriends and I spent the weekend in DC over the Fourth of July. Upon arriving, we were THRILLED with the place--clean and cute. We wanted to live there ourselves! Alan gave us accurate and detailed directions before our arrival, the place was adorable and spotless, and his on-site directions to bars, restaurants, and local attractions were on point. He was going to be out of the country during our stay, so made sure to communicate with us at least a week in advance before our arrival. The bed and pullout were very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you made need. One thing that we did not realize is there is no access to the heating and air. Liking to sleep cold, we were worried, but he had fans in the closet and it never got too warm down there. We would absolutely stay here (or live here) again and have already recommended it to friends.
