Alison let us check in whenever we wanted (read: 3 hour early), matched the door code (LOVE not having a key to lose) to my cell's last 4 digits, had all kinds of nice amenities like yummy snacks, games to play kids, movies to watch, good coffee, a super comfy bed and quality linens. The location is superb. A darling neighborhood, where you can walk safely at night with kids, and one block from the metro. The apartment is immaculate and Greg and Alison were warm and responsive hosts. Alison even moved her car so I could park directly in front! My kids and I had a wonderful, comfortable vacation here. I can't say enough about the little touches that made this stay really great.
