Alan is a fantastic host who goes to a lot of trouble to make you feel welcomed. His apartment was great in an up and coming neighbourhood, walk-able to the DC Mall with all the museums and monuments and great to stay in.
We were unlucky to have lost power on the first night in the apartment and Alan was unluckily on a cruise which we were not advised of and was unreachable for 18 hours. When he did receive our calls and messages he was very apologetic and did all in his power to restore power.
