I was lucky to be able to make a last-minute reservation. I suspect this place is often not available. The apartment was perfect for my needs. I had some work to do in the Library of Congress and appreciated being able to walk or bike there. The Capital Hill neighborhood is posh, and it is fun guess on what the various locals do (many wear suits even on the hottest days). Good restaurants are about six blocks away, and I had no problem walking. I appreciated some small touches in the apartment, including access to a bike and good TV/video options. John and Manuel's place is stylish and comfortable. Great for one or two people and close to the "action" (if politics, monuments, and museums are your thing).
