Crystal and Jon's apartment served our needs extremely well. We were four adults and really appreciated the two full bathrooms and the beds were so comfortable that Betty now isists that we need a new queen matress at home. We stayed for 28 days and did most of our own cooking made much easier by the well equipped kitchen and complete appliances. All of this was made even better by the Harris Teeter complete supermarket just one block from the house that has everything from organic food, beer, bakery, buffet bar for carry out meals and Redbox dvd movie rentals.
Public transportation (busses and subway) along with bikeshare are all in the Harris Teeter area. All in all, it was the most efficient and convenient big city location we have ever experienced.
Crystal and Jon were very warm and accommodating hosts who were always concerned about how we were doing. However, things went along so smoothly that we rarely had to contact them and when we did we had a timely response. Crystal has assembled a notebook with various headings that provide information about all things DC related and will answer just about any questions you may have. There is some construction in immediate area and some noise associated with it, but only during middle of the day; nights are very quiet.
When we visit DC in the future we hope to stay again with Crystal and John. Jim and Betty
