We are very familiar with the area as we have visited our daughter down the block from Eric's place many times. The location is near public transportation, groceries, retail stores, the Capital grounds and National Mall. All destinations very walk-able,even for us in our 60's and 70's. We arrived late at night, but Eric had been efficient in providing us with entry information before hand. Upon arrival, we found the unit to be clean, but there were issues with dirty bed/bath linens from the previous guests left on the floor and a wet load in the washer/dryer. As soon as we reported it, Eric was on it with his cleaning company and the issue was resolved rapidly and satisfactorily. The unit was well stocked with towels and dishes. The full kitchen, although small, was fairly well appointed with cookware and utensils. (We cooked many of our own meals.) The bed was very comfortable. There is a washer/dryer combination appliance under the kitchen counter, and it was the only frustration. The wash cycle was efficient, but the drying cycles were very long - - -two hours plus, depending on the load. There is no dresser in the bedroom in which to unpack clothing. We stayed for two weeks. However, if you are staying for a short time, the absence of a dresser and the washer/dryer situation would probably not be problematic. Although it is on a very busy Capital Hill street, the unit was quiet. We really appreciated having our own quiet place away from the Thanksgiving family gathering chaos at our daughter's house. It was a very satisfactory stay for us, and we will most likely stay at Eric's during our future DC trips. For us and our DC visitor plans, it is perfect. By the way, Eric provides WOODEN HANGERS in the closet. Now THAT'S classy!
