The apartment is in a lovely early 20th-Century building that is well-maintained and secure and offers many amenities. Check-in/check-out was easy. The apartment itself is bright, clean and comfortable, and the host was responsive. There were a few minor maintenance problems which didn't affect our enjoyment of the apartment and can be easily remedied by the host. The location is simply the best for exploring the DC sights, visiting museums and enjoying restaurants of all kinds. There are 3 Metro stations nearby, allowing access to almost all the lines. We enjoy walking and were able to walk to all the sights and museums on our list and to restaurants in DuPont Circle, Chinatown, Penn Quarter, and beyond.
