Marty's place is fantastic! It is located in a beautiful, charming, quiet neighborhood. It is within easy walking distance to restaurants, convenient stores, parks, medical care, metro, bars, downtown and only about a 15 min walk to the White House and the surrounding monuments and museums. It came equipped with every convenience of home which is nice to have those amenities while on vacation and something you don't get when staying in a hotel. The apartment was sparkling clean not only by sight, but also smell. It left us in no doubt that a thorough cleaning had been done before our arrival. There were 2 bottles of Pierre water and Ferrero Rocher chocolates waiting for us on the table when we arrived. There were many other amenities throughout the house that made life easy. Our favorite was probably the washer and drier with soap and drier sheets. Marty was easy to reach and replied to every message quickly. He even sent us information and locations of some of his favorite DC sites which was nice to have. Marty's neighbor Larry and his dog Arthur were the perfect welcoming committee and even helped with our luggage. We will definitely check in again when we return!
