Ramin’s place is a lovely one bedroom apartment in a nice, quiet and safe neighborhood.
The location of the place was great. It was within walking distance to a lot of restaurants, Dupont Circle and Whole Foods.
Uber rides to most tourist destinations ( Museums, Capitol Hill, Kennedy Centre, Union Station, Union Market etc ) was between 7-10$. We also used the Metro (Red Line) from Dupont Circle Metro Station which was very convenient.
My husband and I are very particular about cleanliness and the place was clean and tidy.
The living room has a very comfortable sofa ( which I think converts into a sofa bed), a large TV that we watched Netflix on and a massive full length mirror was a sweet plus. The wifi speed and connectivity was very good.
The kitchen has all the utensils and a fridge, coffee machine, microwave etc. However, we were eating out and did not use the kitchen much.
The bathroom was small but clean and provided with all amenities needed ( bath towels, hand towels, toilet paper, handwash, bodywash, shampoo and conditioner). We carry all our essentials and only used the hand towels which looked laundered and smelled clean.
The bedroom was a good size with a storage space to hang clothes. The bed and pillows provided were comfortable.
A few things to note:
- The building is an old build. You can hear the neighbours talk and move in the living room and the birds chirping. However, having said that, the neighbours on the side and above tend to keep very quiet and chirping of the birds can be a lovely sound to wake up to . We slept very soundly :)
- We didn’t use the washing machine and dryer. I think it was in the basement.
- We didn’t get to try the heating system but we did switch on the air-condition. It functions well.
- The apartment is provided with a steamer to iron your clothes. We were on a business trip and would have preferred an iron and ironing board. There is a dry-cleaning service about 3 mins from the apartment.
The host was quick to respond to our questions. We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the easy commute.
