We had a good stay with Ami, The correspondence both before and during our stay was excellent. Ami gave us lots of information, lent us travel books and train cards and was very informative. He also contacted us during our stay to make sure everything was okay. We had all the facilities we needed, laundry, wifi, TV (no cable), good shower. The apartment is quite a walk from the 3 metro stations around (about 20 to 25 minutes). and as mentioned before is a little dark, but being a basement apartment we had no problems with that and found it ok. There is a great supermarket very close and lots of restaurants, bars etc just around the corner - so location is great - 10 out of 10! if you want to in the thick of things. Yes the door locks are a bit stiff but we had no real problem with that and we felt safe and secure. We would stay there again if passing through DC as we had a good value stay.
