If there were six stars I'd use them all. We used this for a long-term stay (3
months) and were completely happy with it: close to the Metro (and not a very
long walk to Union Station and the very useful DC Circulator buses), to
groceries, and to some very interesting eateries at Union Market. The layout is
very good, with separation between the two bed/bath areas and between them and
the kitchen-dining area, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The neighborhood is
a good one to be in, and quiet enough that we slept very soundly.
Cari was indeed a Super Host. We had some special needs (such as sharing a
mailbox, and having some friends visit, and re-rigging the back bedroom as
an office/study) and she went out of her way to make sure these needs
were met and that everything about the stay worked well. Every interaction
with her was a pleasure, and she was both helpful and knowledgeable in
introducing us to living in and seeing the sights of DC.
