The host was welcoming. The flat looks bigger in the pictures; however, it has the perfect size. It's spacious, cozy, and quite pretty. We loved the brick wall! And our favorite thing was the shower!! After a long day walking through DC, that shower brought us to life again. LOL! The hosts kindly had milk, water and other supplies for us, including laundry detergent. The walking distance to Shaw Metro Station is fairly 10-11 mintues. In overall our experience was great. Our only downside was that my husband had allergies every time he got inside the flat. Things were a little bit dusty inside the flat. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay! Thank you Jason & Sandy!!
