My wife and I spent three nights at Nicole and Alan's amazing Washington DC apartment. The apartment is located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood located a few blocks from the national mall. The neighborbood has great cafes, restaurants and stores to make your stay comfortable. I would suggest getting a metro card and there is a station 200 feet from the front door that will take you right to the mall and tourists spots. Literally a 5 minute ride!! Nicole and Alans apartment was very clean, organized and had everything we needed to enjoy our trip. We never had a chance to meet Nicole but she was in constant commiunication with us before, during and after our trip. If you visit DC I would highly recommend Nicole and Alan's amazing apartment!
