Our stay at Melissa's apartment was amazing! She was very quick to reply to my messages before booking. Melissa met me at her apartment for check-in and was even kind enough to give us a bottle of wine and some soup leftover from a party she had the night before (this came in handy around lunchtime!). She gave us a guestbook with a lot of info for our stay and offered suggestions within the area. If there were any issues, she I'm sure she would have been quick to remedy them (although there wen't any, she offered!). She and her family live upstairs and are available if you ever need anything.
Melissa's Mt Pleasant apartment is in a great neighborhood and is a few minutes walk from the metro and the buzzing center of Columbia Heights. I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the area, and everything you could ever want is a few minutes away! Restaurants, shops, banks, grocery stores, you name it.
The apartment very clean and has everything you could ever need. The shower and bathroom were great, the bedroom and bed comfortable, plenty of closet space with hangers and shelves, a washer and dryer with detergent if necessary, and comfy couch and tv with cable. The kitchen was great to cook in as well!
Everything went smoothly during checkout too. I would DEFINITELY recommend staying at Melissa's place! She's super kind, very friendly and even gave me a ride to work one morning when we ran into each other! Melissa and her family are ridiculously adorable and I would stay at their apartment again in a heartbeat!
