Location of this apartment is probably the best thing about it as it is a short walk to DuPont Circle and Foggy Bottom restaurants and metro stations (DuPont closest, Farragut also convenient) putting DC sights and entertainment almost at the doorstep. Neighborhood is surprisingly quiet for a DC neighborhood, especially compared to my old neighborhood when I lived in DC. Apartment is clean, and fairly well equipped as we didn't have to hunt for anything or go out to make special purchases. I can't write much about cooking vessels and utensils as we chose to eat out every day. Greg, the host, is fabulous. He checked in on us via email the day after our check in, which was appreciated, but also available whenever we needed him (which thank goodness wasn't constant) with quick responses. The only negative for me about the apartment is that it was smaller than I expected, but that is more my own negative than the function of the apartment or graciousness of the host. Good stay, and would definitely recommend.
