I enjoyed the quiet, safe neighborhood, free parking and lovely view from Carla and Giuseppe's apartment. We didn't meet in person as I was running off to meetings and out late at night. But communication was good and Carla responded to my needs quickly. If you have mobility problems or a lot of luggage, you should know there is a steep outdoor staircase to go up before you enter the apartment. It was not a problem for me, and once inside there is plenty of space to do yoga, work, study, etc. I had everything I needed to be able to relax in hectic DC.
