Reed is a kind and caring host, and was very concerned about making our experience in DC the best. She thoughtfully put out some chocolates before we arrived, and gave us snacks before we left. The apartment is an easy five minute walk to the Takoma metro station. Her neighborhood consists of some lovely old Victorian houses. Tip: the restaurant My Little Bistro (you'll walk past it right before you get to the metro) has a delicious and cheap breakfast. The apartment is clean, and would be good for a long term stay, as it has a kitchen, wi-fi, and living room. One thing I might recommend for the apartment is a dehumidifier, as basements often tend to be a bit damp. The free parking is a big plus in DC. Overall, a great value. Thanks Reed!
