Allen was very responsive and helpful right off the bat (before and during our trip). The apartment was exactly as described. It was very clean, well-maintained, tastefully decorated and had all the amenities (and more!) that we needed to be comfortable and feel at home – everything was perfect. He even provided us with earplugs in case we weren’t accustomed to city noise. This was our first trip to DC and we loved the Columbia Heights area! Surrounding area was clean and we felt very safe. The nearest metro station, grocery stores, pharmacies, a strip mall and many awesome restaurants and bars were conveniently located within walking distance. We did not get to meet Allen during our stay but he was always an email away and responded within minutes. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone, and it’s been saved to my wish list for the next time I visit DC. Thanks Allen!
