Ami's place is clean, comfortable and well-located. It's much more spacious than the "cozy" description and the photograph lets on, with a living room, full kitchen, bath, bedroom and dressing room. We slept very well on the bed. Ami also has an easy to use washer and dryer in his apt.

Ami was waiting for us when we arrived, showed us around the apt., explained how to connect to WiFi, where to get buses and shop, etc. He has DC maps and brochures for the use of his guests. There's shopping around the corner on Kalorama (sign up for their free discount card!) and on Columbia. Lots of restaurants in Adams Morgan ranging from pricey to amazingly reasonable (like Amsterdam Falafel).

There are excellent transportation connections to all parts of the city. From Ami's place It's easy to connect to the Red Line Metro at Woodley Park. The L2 bus leaves every 20-30 min. from the 18th St and Belmont bus stop which is a 3 minute walk toward Woodley Park in one direction, and toward MacPherson Circle on the other side of the street. At 18th and Columbia, a 5-7 min. walk, there are also DC Circulator buses to Woodley Park Metro and points north, as well as southbound, that leave every 10 minutes late into the night.

When we arrived we took the Yellow Line directly from Reagan Airport to U-Street and walked to Ami's place with our rollaboard bags. It was a longer and more strenuous walk than we had anticipated, so on the way back we took a cab back to the Yellow Line Metro. It was well worth the $8 plus tip for ourselves and our luggage, especially since it was raining. (If you take the Red Line to/from the airport you will have to change trains.)

All in all Ami's a great place to stay and he is a wonderful host. The only caveat about Ami's apt. would be for someone who is physically challenged or has difficulty climbing stairs, as there are a few steep brick steps going down to and up from Ami's apt. But we didn't have a problem.

We had a great time and would happily stay at Ami's again on a future visit to DC.
