The 5 of us (including 3 teens ), had a great time for the week. David's place is great – it's not huge, but we didn't feel cramped and it was exceptionally clean, and well prepared. We enjoyed the little touches like coffee for the coffee machine, a toaster, and even available umbrellas. The crazy-friendly neighborhood cat, George, welcomed us each day – a real treat for the kids.
The extremely detailed binder David put together outlining anything and everything you could have questions about, was very well done. He was also always very prompt in answering my text messages and always emphasized his concern for making our stay better if at all possible..
The location is in an up-and-coming area of the north east part of the city. A few more blocks further east (the opposite direction of everything you would want to see anyway ), gets a little more "gritty" but we never felt unsafe. It is a 6 minute walk to the grocery store on the corner, and another 8 to get down to the actual Metro platform itself at Union Station. From there, we could get pretty-much anywhere in the city and the DC Circulator Bus and/or Uber was never more than 5 minutes away. It was a 35 minute easy Metro ride to and from the airport to Union Station.
We weren't able to quite get it "all" in in the 4 days we spent but we worked hard at soaking in everything DC had to offer. David's place made our time much more enjoyable and relaxed. Thanks again!
