Mike made us feel welcome from the moment I booked our trip by answering all questions promptly and courteously. We arrived at about 10 at night and found the street pleasantly well-lit and easy to reach from Reagan Airport. The apartment was easy to get into and so comfortable and well-located. We loved finding a bottle of wine and some granola bars waiting for us, along with a helpful folder full of hints and information. Mike also very thoughtfully provides such hotel-like amenities as a hair dryer, shampoo, and an iron and ironing board. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, and the street was charming, with beautifully restored historic houses and lovely gardens and trees. Highlights of Mike's vibrant neighborhood for our family of four were breakfast and book shopping at Busboys and Poets/Prose and Politics, incredible milk shakes and upscale "pop tarts" at Ted's Bulletin, and shopping for groceries at Yes! Organic Market. Access to the National Mall and museums was super-easy from the nearby Metro stations and bus stops. I was surprised by how quiet the street was, given its proximity to so many urban amenities--we slept great! The very comfortable beds certainly helped with that. Thank you, Mike and Abby, for being such fabulous hosts! I will definitely hope to stay with you again on future visits to D.C.
