This Foggy Bottom apartment was a great place to stay on the D.C. portion of our mother/daughter college tour. The location can't be beat, as it is in easy walking distance from George Washington U and Georgetown. Plus, it is only about a mile from the Lincoln Memorial and the Mall. Trader Joes and Whole Foods also are both within walking distance, as are many good dining options.

Any Airbnb guest who tries to avoid more lived-in accommodations will appreciate how immaculate and beautifully decorated this apartment is. The kitchen also is well equipped and suitable for in-apartment cooking. And having spent the last week scrunched down in tiny showers, I definitely appreciated the roomy shower with rainfall showerhead.

Access to the apartment went without a hitch. It is necessary to go up two short flights of stairs, so the apartment may not be perfectly suited for those with mobility issues. If you have a car, as we did, you should expect to put some thought into parking, as there is no on-site dedicated parking. We lucked out and parked in one of 4 or 5 free spots right out front, left the car, and took Uber the rest of the visit. Access to those spots is most likely during morning and evening transition times. If all else fails, there are a couple of parking garages a few blocks away, but expect city parking fees. As a car isn't needed in D.C., your best bet is to avoid having one, if you can.

Mark is a very helpful host. We contacted him a couple of times via text, and he was very responsive. Had we had any issues, I am confident that he would have addressed them promptly.

I highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting to visit the nation's capital.
