Albert was an excellent host! He was very quick to respond before we booked with all of our questions. When we arrived he gave us a walking tour of the area and it was great to have him just upstairs as he was willing and available at a moment's notice for any inquiry. He also gave us good tips on how to get around the city and where to get things. We even had some drinks waiting for us in the fridge upon arrival.
We loved this space and location! Extremely clean and the space is used very well providing a ton of cupboard and desk/tabletop area. It just looks great and was super trendy. The kitchen is fully functional (with dishwasher, stove and oven) and we used it for every dinner while we were there. Albert set up a crib for us since we have a baby (Thanks!). Separation of sound from upstairs was very good. We heard just enough to know that they were alive but nothing more. We took the bus ($1.75 ea) our first day to the mall and it was painless and then walked back at the end of the day. The next day we parked (park at 9:45 AM - it starts at 10 but was already full by then - for free, 3 hr parking on the Mall on weekdays since it's less busy) so that we could keep our lunch somewhere while going up the Washington monument and taking The Capitol tour (No request from State Reps required for some tours). Since it was mid-week we were able to get Wash Monument tickets without really waiting ( on Sept 1st - school was back in session). Thanks Albert for a great place!
