Location really is everything, especially in stunning and historic Georgetown. This apartment is ideally situated near Georgetown Heights, the gorgeous, park-laden upper portion of bustling Georgetown proper. There are countless fantastic patisseries, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants within a ten-minute walk radius, as well as a large grocery store and several high-end wine vendors. The area is bustling and dynamic (we had great fun watching a music video being filmed right outside the apartment during our stay--awesome people watching).
The apartment has some downsides and dings that are to be expected in an historic building—the tiny bathrooms clearly had to be shoe-horned into the existing space, and the small kitchen reflects the fact that, given all the great foodie destinations nearby, you won't be trying to cook at home anyway. These issues were minor annoyances that didn't detract from our overall positive experience.
Douglas is a super-attentive and responsive host. He has created a gorgeous space in the heart of an awesome, postcard community, and the included parking space definitely makes this a superior housing choice in this area.
