Alia has a beautiful home in a very central part of DC -- just steps from the 16th St bus lines (with quick access to downtown DC or Silver Spring), while still nestled into Rock Creek Park and very close to popular walking trails. The basement apartment is huge and everything was absolutely SPARKLING clean. Two large bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a huge living room make it very comfortable for a family. The kitchen set-up is a little quirky -- there is a nice looking kitchen/bar area with a mini fridge in the main living space, but the full fridge and oven are tucked away in a back room. But you still have everything you need. All in all a perfect set-up for visiting relatives. Alia and her husband were absolutely lovely, gracious hosts!
