This apartment is very conveniently located, just under 25 minutes from the Smithsonian museums, including walking to the metro. The host was very prompt in responding to and fulfilling all of my requests. And the apartment was clean except for the blinds. Some guests would not care about having more kitchen items, but we were wishing for more cutlery. The apartment building itself is quiet, but we could hear people yelling in the street on the weekend nights. The host could not, of course, have done anything about the noise, and for the location, street noise is to be expected.
