Darob was an excellent host and was easily accessible for questions throughout our stay as well as during the run up to our arrival. All queries were responded to promptly.

The apartment is exactly as described / pictured. There is some very slight wear and tear here and there but nothing major and overall is a very clean and lovely place to stay.

The location is great and within fairly easy walking distance to all the major sites. If you don't wish to walk too far, the Foggy Bottom Metro stop is just 2 minutes away by foot. There are numerous good restaurants nearby as well as a Starbucks just across the street and a Wholefoods store opposite the Metro. The only negative about the location is that there is a hospital across the street. Therefore you do get the occasional siren noise from the ambulances however this did not bother me at all. If you are a very light sleeper you probably want to take this into account.

One major point that should be noted is that the apartment next door and the apartment on the floor below are undergoing major refurbishment works. This didn't happen on a Sunday but on weekdays the builders arrived at 8AM. They were extremely loud using power tools and banging and shouting. Again, we were up before 8AM each day and out for the entire day so it wasn't a problem for us. However, if you plan to sleep later or nap during the day you should definitely consider this. I am a heavy sleeper but I don't imagine anyone could sleep through the noise those builders were making!

One final point to note - to open the main front door, put the key and turn to the left. The lock will click open. Then you must turn the key a quarter turn to the left again and hold it there and push the door open. This may seem obvious but we struggled to get in when we first arrived!

Overall this was a lovely place to stay in a great location. I would definitely stay again. However, if noise is a problem then definitely wait until the builders have finished before staying here.
