Great experience. The flat is in a fantastic location for access to the Capitol, Mall, Eastern Market, and Navy Yard areas.

The flat is the first floor of an historic townhouse (note, the apartment is NOT a basement -- it's on the level of the sidewalk and the front windows and back door allow sufficient light). The first floor position of the apartment does mean that you can hear the goings on upstairs from time to time (footsteps, occasionally talking). The hosts are not at all loud, but if being reminded that people are dwelling above you is a problem, you'll want to go elsewhere.

The flat itself was clean and comfortable. Can't remember how clear it is in the photos, but the bed is in the living room and there's a small hall to the kitchen/laundry/bath. A couch and dresser are also in the living room now. Bathroom is small, but very tastefully appointed with modern fixtures. The shower head and pressure were heavenly. I didn't use the kitchen, but it looked clean and functional. The WiFi worked very well; didn't try the TV. The host graciously accommodated a last-second request for some additional items I needed to prepare for a wedding.

The host provided all necessary detail for accessing the flat well in advance and provided additional helpful information upon arrival. David was friendly and genuinely interested in the quality of my stay.

Highly recommended!
