This place is every bit as good as it looks. We liked the location and really appreciated having the private parking. We were there with a Toyota Sienna minivan, which still worked out well with the parking, but mostly because no one was else was in Matthew's bottom unit, thus meaning we did not have to worry about sharing the garage. If another car had been beside us, backing out could have been difficult, especially because there is a bike shop, along with a Jeep, parked directly behind the garage. The most direct way to get to the unit is via a tight spiral staircase. We did not feel comfortable loading or unloading our car from this staircase, but we were able to take the side path around to the front of the house and load/unload there. During our time, there was no street parking available for this loading. But this little thing is a very small inconvenience that is hardly worth worrying about.
We very much enjoyed the blazing fast internet (clocked at 350+ megs on my MacBook), the tv, and the entire open concept setup. There are several great restaurants within walking distance and a Whole Foods is 0.3 of a mile away.
We had to cut our trip short because of a death in the family, so we were not able to do everything we had wanted to do, but when we return to DC, we absolutely hope we will be able to rent Matthew's place again. Check in is very easy and their team was excellent with their communication.
