Our stay at Natasha's was wonderful. The basement apartment is cute and airy and clean. We slept on the queen bed and my husband said it was a comfy one ( and he is ultra fussy). The kitchenette had a coffee maker and Natasha had ground coffee and some snacks available to get us going in the morning.
The area close by was full of life. Connecticut Avenue is lively, full of restaurants and interesting shops.We even went to the movies at the Uptown theater which is one of those old fashioned giant ones from the 1940's! However, you really need a car to get there.
