Wow. Incredible apartment, in effectively flawless condition, packed with ridiculously thoughtful touches, everywhere you look. This is like the Platonic ideal of an Airbnb experience; oft imagined, rarely achieved. As far as the location, there are good hip restaurants nearby on H street. The neighborhood seemed quite safe and peaceful to us (i understand this maybe wasn't so true, 10-20 years ago, but we had no worries!). And unless you hate walking, it's a nice healthy walk to the Capitol (and thence to the Mall) - or you can grab a bikeshare, just up the street. Be aware that there's no Metro stop anywhere nearby, but there are some bus options. And one other thing - if you're arriving by car, you should just assume to include the cost of renting Andrew's parking pass into your total; there's no street parking anywhere nearby, it's all permit only. It's a completely private, independent experience (including a clever code lock on your door) but Andrew responds almost instantly to questions, if you have them. (But good luck thinking of something he hasn't already thought of!) Anyway we loved the place, bravo Andrew; as far as airbnb-ing goes, you're killing it!
