We had a great stay in D.C. at Joel's place. We walked to all of the Smithsonian museums, to a White House tour, and to great neighborhood restaurants. It's only one mile to the White House and surrounding museums. The neighborhood is very safe for walking day and night. The apartment is just as pictured and works great for two people. We were only there for sleeping at night and a quick breakfast (the only thing missing was a spatula for cooking, but I'm sure Joel will add one - meant to tell him before we left). Joel was very responsive to all messages while we were there and we met him outside one day and he is super friendly with lots of recommendations. I highly recommend this apartment if you are headed to D.C.
