I stayed at Joel's place for work, which is conveniently located to Dupont Circle, restaurants, grocery, drug store. Places of interest like the White House and Eisenhower Executive Office are also at a walking distance. His place has a stack of guide books to help with sightseeing, and he's a very thoughtful host in that he checks on you to see if you have other needs that he can assist you with. I really enjoyed staying here as it had a kitchen with ref, microwave, stove, and toaster, as well as a washer and dryer. As I was there for work, I used the internet and had no problems with it. The place is also in a safe neighborhood as I had to walk home late from work a couple of nights. I will definitely stay at Joel's place again if I get a chance to go back to D.C.!
