We were greeted with fresh fruit on the table, wine, and chilled filtered water in the fridge...a pleasant welcome...then Jim directed us to close restaurants so we didn't have to drive. (We fell in love with the french place, the food was so amazing we returned every night of our stay!) The neighborhood is lovely...a park nearby, friendly pedestrians walking dogs and kids...a great location, easily walkable to Union station and the Capitol. The apartment was perfect for us...large TV, nice kitchen, huge tub with overhead shower (!!), comfy King bed and even a giant desk which we used to set our luggage on for easy access. We loved that the living area closed off from the bedroom...we trade occasional bouts of insomnia, so one of us could curl up on the couch to read or watch TV without disturbing the other. We found it a pleasure to stay here---a wonderful way to enjoy the city without staying amidst the noise and hustle of a big hotel---and our hosts made everything welcoming, comfortable and seamless.
