Had a wonderful stay in Washington DC at Lara and Alex house. There were 6 of us (4 adults and 2 children). The location of the apartment is perfect and unbeatable. I would highly recommend based on the location. There was upstairs noise as other reviews have mentioned but we did not feel it was that bad (though this obviously depends on who is staying up stairs). The communication was outstanding. We were dealing with Kerstin who was always available to answer our questions or assist us even after check in. We used the pull out couch for the 2 children which was fine for kids but as there are no blinds in the living area im not sure if it would be suitable for adults as there is no privacy from neighbours. But overall a great stay and would recommend using Kerstin and Lara and Alex's houses to stay in when visiting Washington DC.
