Tricia sent us a very easy to follow details on how to find the place a few days prior to arrival. The apt is very close to a metro station, also very close to many restaurants, bars, shops, trader joe's etc. Very easy to get around. We were able to find street parking but she also had a parking spot available for an added fee, which she let us use to unload our stuff when we got there. The place is clean and neatly organized. Had plenty of towels and kitchen stuff, though we didn't really cook while we were there. It was cold in DC while we were there and the basement was probably colder than the rest of the building so I had to ask Tricia to turn up the heat a couple of times (temp controlled remotely by her) which she did for us promptly and was so nice about. She even dropped off an extra blanket for us to use, which we ended up not needing after she changed the temp setting for us. She was really easy to get a hold of over text messages. Overall a great experience staying at her place. The footsteps upstairs was pretty prominent but we didn't really mind, if you care about noises you might want to take a note of that. The only thing we wish were different would be the wifi strength. It was pretty spotty. We ended up using our smartphones while in the apt, or brought our laptop to coffee shops / convention center which made things just a tad bit less convenient since we were there for a work conference and needed internet frequently. I do have to stress that the internet thing was a very small factor though, because Tricia was an excellent host. We were able to make do just fine.
