Our hosts were communicative and clear. They gave us all of the information that we needed to make our stay perfect. We loved the neighborhood. We had a 14 year old and a 8 year old with us. The nearby playground was splendid. And we loved all of the restaurants. The zoo was quite accessible. Our friends who live near by plan to recommend this listing to other visitors based upon our excellent experience. The attention to detail in the apartment was impressive. The only missing elements were 1) a toilet plunger (we thought we had clogged the toilet and had not but if we had a plunger would have been needed) and 2) extra blankets (it was cold in D.C. when we were there and they only had one blanket for each bed) We would definitely return to this apartment! Thank you Lara and Alex.
