For us, the spaciousness of the Apt was the main draw. Public transit + convenience store close by an added bonus. Shawn being a proactive host helped address any small, niggly issues arising (as surely they do on any travel). Hvg a car lot by the back (altho we didnt drive), the washer/dryer for laundry (on the road week plus before DC), multi-channel TV and an entire kitchen range gv us that home away from home feeling; not often got from hotel rooms. Definitely a value deal.
