Alan's place is cozy, comfortable, clean and convenient to all the hot spots that Washington DC has to offer. We had a wonderful two night stay in his English basement apartment. All the utensils and appliances were new, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean, the living room and fireplace were super cozy. We watched TV from his comfortable couch, ate breakfast and lunch there as well. Alan was also very easy to contact for any of our needs. He helped turn up the heat when we arrived and gave us tips to keep the place warm. There were enough blankets and pillows, towels and toiletries for us. We really loved our stay and hated to leave! I would recommend Alan and his place to anyone looking for a good value stay in DC. Thanks again, Alan!
