My friend Katie said this and I agree 100% - Honestly, the experience my friend and I had at Kelly's was unparalleled. Not only was the apartment itself beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, but her generosity and kindness as a host went truly above and beyond. Everything I could want in a home away from home was there: a comfortable couch and really nice flat screen TV for rainy days; a functional kitchen, with spices and all that I would need to cook if I wanted to; and decoration that really made me feel I was staying somewhere more unique and special than a hotel. Everywhere I looked, there were thoughtful touches meant to make our life easier -- like a guidebook Kelly had left with all her favorite neighborhood recommendations (we tried a few restaurants off her list, to great success!), to the shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser she had in the shower, or the little note she had explaining how to work the AC/Heat. She'd even left some snacks and wine for us as a welcoming present! While we were there, we had an issue with the toilet -- but Kelly was phenomenally quick at taking care of it (thoroughly, so no other guests should have an issue), and so incredibly warm and generous for the duration of our stay... I really cannot recommend her, and her place, enough. Absolutely spectacular hosting, at a wonderful place. Next time I'm in DC, I know where I want to stay!
