We were met by our host and walked through the apartment. All was explained - the alarm, extra blankets, numbers to get a hold of the host if need be. The apartment was everything we expected. Very lovely in a very nice neighborhood. We were a couple blocks from a busy street full of restaurants, super markets, farmers market on Saturday, taxis, pharmacies. Easy walking distance to all these and to my daughter's apartment in Mount Pleasant. This ground floor apartment was sunny and there were good cross breezes when the windows were opened. This apartment was nice to come "home" to. I would definitely try to stay there again the next time I'm in DC.
