My partner and I stayed at Alan's for 4 nights. Very convenient location - around the corner from the subway but we walked into the city most days (c. 30minute stroll to the Smithsonian Museums). Alan advised us the fireplace wasn't working, so we did have to ask him a few times to turn up the heating but he was super quick to respond. The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed and generally clean. The area has lots of supermarkets and restaurants all within easy walking distance.
