Linden was a lovely host! The apartment was perfect for my boyfriend and I traveling to DC for a few days. Everything was newly remodeled, cutely decorated, and very clean. There was a coffee machine, tea, snacks, and water in the refrigerator, as well as a microwave in the kitchenette. There was no key to get as the locks are all coded. Getting in was not hard--you just have to follow Linden`s instructions, which she has very thoroughly written out. There is also a binder in the room with a compilation of tips and sightseeing info that they put together. Linden made an effort to meet us despite the apartment not being directly connected to the house with her family and was very friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. As the house is somewhat older, we could hear a lot of what was going on upstairs, but it wasn`t a problem.The location was good, but learning the bus system is definitely recommended as Union Station is a decent walk away. All in all, a great host and a great place in DC!
