Daniel responded immediately with information and was very helpful, as was his wife, Barbara, who met us on our arrival. The apartment is clean, bright, cool (it was very hot and humid in August), and quiet. As the description states, there is some noise from the apartment upstairs, but very quiet during sleeping hours. The parking was a huge bonus! I was travelling with my dad, so I slept on the second bed, which was very firm. The couch is an alternative to the day bed, but it is also quite firm. This is the perfect apartment for a short term stay in DC, and Daniel is an excellent host. The location is fantastic, which makes it excellent value.
