We had a wonderful time. Stephen is a great host. He made the stay very welcoming with a stocked refrigerator and cabinet and complimentary wine and beer (and some great coffee). The apartment was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the air mattress worked out fine for our teenager. In the 100 degree heat, it was great to come back after a long day to a nice air-conditioned space with all the comforts of home. The internet access and computer, large screen tv, and cd collection were much appreciated. We were always able to find street parking either right in front or just a few doors away thanks to the free parking permit which Stephen drove us to the police station to get. Although we used the well-equipped kitchen to make some meals, there are lots of interesting looking restaurants in the area. I would definitely stay at Stephen's apartment on our next trip to D.C.!
