Teresa was an excellent host. She always responded quickly to my messages and provided useful tips about Washington's bus system and attractions prior to my arrival. I did not meet her in person because she was out of town to attend a family event but she arranged for the apartment to be cleaned. Communication was clear throughout, which made our check-in and out during her absence absolutely hassle-free. The pictures did the apartment justice. It was as comfortable and well equipped as the pictures show. Teresa provided yoghurt, milk and cereal for breakfast, which was a nice touch. The apartment was clean, the kitchen was also fully equipped and the bathroom was nice too. Linens and towels were great. We were satisfied with the beds and mattresses provided for six people, although space was a little tight and perhaps more comfortable for four adults. The wifi and cable TV worked fine. It was easy to get around on the bus system and there's a Whole Foods supermarket within walking distance. All in all, no complaints at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Teresa's sanctuary!
