Alex and Gio's spot proved the perfect home base for my young son and I during our first trip to D.C. The free-to-ride D.C. Circulator stop is right out their door, with connections to at least two stops on the Metro train lines. The apartment itself is spartan but clean and well-appointed with the basics, including a really nice rain shower head. The parking spot is around the corner in an alley, and it's a lifesaver because there basically is no other parking available in the area. We parked the car and spent four days on foot, bus, rail and scooter and saw everything we wanted to see. The room got a little warm, but with a quick note to the hosts, they adjusted and brought us a fan. Recommend!
