I had a wonderful stay in Swati and Kumar's basement apartment! It was just what I needed while I was taking a class on the campus of American University. The neighborhood is peaceful, which makes for a lovely walk to the campus. The apartment has everything you need and is homey and comfortable. Swati and Kumar are great hosts - gracious and accommodating. I was especially grateful for the food they left on hand and their willingness to let me check in early!
