The neighborhood is great! A friendly Capitol Hill neighborhood with rows of cool townhouses, exactly 2 blocks from 8th street, which is literally filled with restaurants of all kinds on both sides of the street for blocks. 2 to 3 blocks to the metro station, which will take you all over the city. I can't think of a better location.

The very clean apartment is actually better than described. It's cozy, but not cramped. The decor is a well-curated, interesting assortment of interesting and useful items, including up to date guide books and brochures. The kitchen is an efficient, well-organized and compact space in an alcove. It's remarkably well equipped. We didn't prepare any meals there, but we certainly could have. The separate bedroom boasts an very comfortable king size bed. The bathroom is stocked with an assortment of the kinds of things you just might forget to pack. These people are intuitive hosts. Every time I thought, “I wonder if there is a - - - (wine opener, roll of tape, etc.)” I would look and, yes, there it was!

The hosts are very responsive and helpful. I hope to meet them if I have a chance to return!
