We went to DC for 6 days to visit our daughter and tour. .From start to finish, staying at Shella’s place was an outstanding experience. Check in (early!) was a breeze. The location was terrific, easy walking distance to Union Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, a lot of good places to eat, and to METRO! If you’re a walker, Capitol Hill and the Mall are in range (1-1.5 miles), otherwise all the museums are a quick metro ride away. Lots of renovated space, a very comfortable bed, and a modern shower, plus a washer and dryer and excellent bedroom closet space. TV with countless channels. We stayed during a terrible heat wave and, because it’s in the basement, the apartment was quite cool. Shella even provided water and some snacks to get us started. Communication was perfect, speedy and clear, from reservation through checkout. Shella is an excellent host. We would stay here anytime!
