We spent two nights at Alison’s place and we had a fantastic time. Very comfortable apartment, very clean. Great beds, very nice to be able to do some laundry. Very well equipped kitchen. Close to stores (Whole Foods around the corner), and many nice restaurants, and yoga-places (which we will have to try for next time...). Washington in general was a dream. Very quiet after having spent some nights in NYC. We were here during a heatwave, so walking to the Mall was a bit strenuous, but on a normal day this would be fine, although the route there is not very entertaining, so on our second day we used the (free!) streetcar and the (free!) circulator, which brought us to all the places we needed to be. We tried to cram in all the free museums, but jhad to leave some for a next time. So we will definitely come back, and would love to stay at the same place then. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
