I cannot put into words how amazing this trip was. The apartment was lovely, Elmar was incredibly hospitable and made sure we had the best recommendations. The space was clean, well taken care of, and had small touches that really set it apart. There were maps of the city in the room, we were given bus cards that we could reload to get around in public transportation, we were offered refreshments and snacks when we would get back from a day at the museums, and experienced some of the best conversation we could have asked for. We were lucky enough to be able to spend time talking with Elmar and this is more than half of the reason we enjoyed our stay so much. Sharing travels stories, getting to know the host, even getting some great movie recommendations made staying here such a wonderful part of our overall trip. I would absolutely refer anyone going to DC to stay with Elmar and Michelle. Amazing people with amazing stories to share and a comfortable, clean, safe, lovely property to stay in while seeing the city.
