Note: I booked Bruce and Francesca's place for my parents, who visited DC for a weekend.
Bruce and Francesca are very cordial hosts! They are flexible upon check-in time, were able to get permit parking for our car, and kept their apartment very clean and warm. Upon arrival, Bruce had a fireplace set up for us in our private room, chocolates on the pillow, and bed warmers heated up. For breakfast, Bruce and Francesca made Italian-style espressos, cappuccinos, and toast. The apartment is on a quiet street but very close to bars, restaurants, metro, and downtown DC. I'm definitely getting in touch with Bruce and Francesca for when my parents or friends want to visit DC again!
