This apartment was perfect for us. It is well-appointed with really everything you might need for a weekend or a week. There were plenty of dishes and all the kitchen utensils and appliances you might need. A coffee maker with coffee available. The bathroom was just right. There was glorious hot water with good water pressure. You'd be surprised how many times that isn't the case even in a nice hotel. The bed was comfortable with pillows provided if you didn't bring your own. There was even a washer and dryer had we needed it. There is a patio area with table and chairs that we used in the mornings while we had coffee. We were there in August and it was HOT outside . There are plenty of fans available to cool things down if it gets stuffy and if that isn't enough you can text Alan to adjust the overall temperature, although we didn't find it necessary. He responded to my texts very very quickly. The location is great...only a couple blocks from the Metro station. There's a great restaurant literally across the street if you like curry. There's a grocery store and a convenience store each within walking distance along with a coffee shop and a few other good restaurants if you don't want to cook. If you are coming to DC and want a great place to stay that is convenient, comfortable, and has a fantastic host.....this is your spot.
