I've heard that in the old days, foreign governments would punish their domestic enemies by naming them ambassador to the U.S. because of the hideous summers in Washington, D.C., so I was a little leery about my recent June stay in DC at 2500 Penn. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about--the weather was indeed hot and humid, but my beautiful suite at 2500 Penn had everything I needed (especially the excellent air-condiitioning) and the friendly and helpful staff there made my stay comfortable and delightful . . . until I walked outside. But for those times I didn't have to go outside, 2500 Penn was my comfortable refuge/oasis.
