The apartment was clean, comfortable, beautifully equipped, and altogether fine as a launching pad. It's not so close to the Capitol, but the neighborhood is quiet and parking (with the supplied neighborhood pass) was a breeze. I cooked a lot, and kitchen has great knives, pots, table and glassware, you name it. Communication with Christoper was really great. He was fast, polite and helpful in response to my questions, and the few wrinkles that arose got solved right away.
