We loved our stay. The area of town was historic, fun, and beautiful. Easy access to the bus and train. The apartment looked just like the pictures. Joel even had helpful information about the area and books on what do experience in DC. Having the washer and dryer was great. He provided extra bedding and blankets. Check in and check out was easy. Close to Whole Foods, Starbucks, and a multitude of restaurants (we thoroughly enjoyed Ted's Bulletin). We felt completely safe. The neighborhoods were nice and quiet. He even provided a complimentary bottle of wine. Great price and great host!
