Hamzah was a really great host. He was quick to respond to answer any of our questions/concerns and he was incredibly friendly when we met him in person. The apartment is lovely, and looks as pictured! The neighborhood is slightly rough, but the tall fence surrounding Hamzah's home as well as his security methods, made us feel safe. Having free street parking was a plus! And his apartment is about 10-15 minutes from the center of D.C.
