The appartment is fantastic and Devon is even better. She made arrangements for us to arrive early and leave late, which isn't always easy to do.
The couple who clean also deserve mention since they changed their work schedule to accommodate ours and gave me a lift to Union Market.
Devon answered my questions quickly and completely. She has provided a clean, quiet, homey retreat.
The location is perfect; Union Station is an easy walk if you want Amtrak, MARC, or car rental.
The Folger Shakespeare Museum is less than 200 steps away. They produced a wonderful play in their small theater.
The Capitol, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress form a triangle only a block away, where you can catch the National Mall bus.
A corner grocery is 5 or 6 blocks away and a full-size store only a few blocks more. Restaurants abound within 10 blocks north or south.
Our biggest problem was trying to figure out how one street could be "A" and also "M" - we finally got close enough and took the time to read (duh!). "M" stands for "Metro."
Be aware that each person must have a card to ride the Metro. Previous guests had left their cards so we only had to buy one ($2). Seniors can get a discount; if applicable, you should look into this before you go.
Fantastic apartment, fantastic location, fantastic Devon.
