Pia is a pro. Her downstairs apartment is perfectly situated and beautifully equipped for a wonderful and relaxing stay in the Capital. My family and I were visiting DC for the first time, and she made us feel right at home—explaining the important sites to see and making sure we had everything we needed. The property was charming, clean, and well-designed. The neighborhood is really delightful as well. There are plenty of local shops and restaurants that provide welcomed (and affordable) alternatives to the large chains downtown. We even made dinner one night from groceries we got at the (small) local famers market (on Saturday). What a treat. We'll be back as soon as we can!
