Cristina and Orestes were great hosts. We only really saw them at check-in but they were available if we needed them. They were very responsive to our messages. This is a basement apartment that may be a bit of a challenge for those need accessible accommodations but it was in a safe and quiet neighborhood. It is very convenient to Eastern Market so we were able to get some breakfast items and snacks (we ate out for lunch dinner everyday). The Keurig and French press were very nice for a fresh cup of Joe in the morning as well. The beds were very comfortable for my wife and I and our two teens. There are somethings you have to adapt to if you're not used to apartment living (I.e. Small shower and limited outlets)
For most people that are not used to city life, you will need to get familiar with the bus system or use an Uber to get to the main DC attractions.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and there is no way we couldn't have gotten a hotel with all the amenities offered in this rental for what this cost us.
We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone planning to visit D.C.
