The space was lovely and the neighborhood was beautiful - lots of restaurants within walking distance! We didn't get to meet our hosts, but Cristina was friendly and responsive in her messages, and her info and directions were all very clear and helpful. She also made some wonderful recommendations for restaurants. It was a nice base for exploring D.C., and for those with families, there were some easy sleeping options in the apartment, including a second bedroom and an extra bed in the bedroom that had its own semi-private space. I thought the apartment was beautifully decorated and designed. I'd never stayed in a D.C. basement apartment and wasn't sure what to expect. This apartment was bright and beautiful!
