James is a great host. My husband and I spent 3 weeks in his apartment for an extended stay in DC. He was very responsive to our needs and gladly delivered an extra table as we were spending a fair amount of time on the computer. The living room is large with a huge couch and nice TV...great for lounging. We loved the location...minutes away from 14th Street...easy grocery shopping 5 minutes away at Trader Joe's. There are wonderful restaurants and cafes in the area and along U Street. This is terrific value.
