Sara was an amazing host! She always responded quickly and with plenty of information. Our group consisted of 6 adults and a 2 1/2 year old. Our friends were flying in with their son and we wanted to pick them up at the airport since traveling with a small child is never easy. Sara was gracious in allowing us to drop our bags off at the house around noon so we would have room for the rest of our group and their luggage. The apartment is exactly as described and everything is brand new! It is a quiet location which is exactly what you need after a long day of museums and sightseeing. We had rented a car (a Ford Expedition no less) and had no trouble finding parking right in front of the house with the Visitor Parking Permit. It is close to everything as well. The apartments central AC came in quite useful in mid August and having our own thermostat ensured we were always comfortable. Sara has provided plenty of towels, dishes, pots and pans, etc.; all the amenities of home. The bathroom is all brand new, has plenty of storage and is big enough that two people can get ready at the same time. I could go on and on about how wonderful Sara, the apartment and the location are but I will run out of the allotted work count :) Just know that if you are looking to stay in the DC area and want to have a home away from home, this is definitely the place.
