As a family of three, we enjoyed our stay here very much and would definitely recommend it and book again.
We especially appreciated:
- Peter taking the time to chat with us, explain parking and street cleaning protocol, and ask us how our stay was going when we saw him outside
- timely online communication from Peter from booking to when we arrived
- how quiet it was (barely any street noise or upstairs sounds, and that was muffled)
- how clean everything was (spotless)
- keyless entry
- high quality bedding, pillows, throw blankets etc (I like a soft bed and the main bed seemed to have a pillow-top over the mattress and a down comforter. My other half likes firmer, yet still slept soundly every night.)
- high quality paper products (Kleenex tissues and that good TP)
- nicely stocked and well-equipped kitchen, bath and laundry (including full-sized, newer, quiet appliances)
- ample storage space for the things you brought
- restaurant menus - wish we could have tried The Red Hen (Michelin rated), loved Bacio’s
Peter has thought of everything to make a traveler’s/visitor’s stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. Tea or coffee person? There’s everything you need to make both. Love a cozy blanket to huddle under on the couch? How about three. Iron/ironing board, hangers, hamper, shoe storage, lint brush, extra linens, board games/puzzles and even a desk, lamp and chair, can all be found in the walk-in closet. Charging stations, trash bins, and storage nooks galore. Umbrellas, travel coffee mugs, maps and menus for when you’re out and about.
The apartment is located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood, about a 10-15 minute Lyft/Uber to the National Mall. Minuscule walk to Bacio’s (great pizza, salads, desserts, outdoor/indoor seating or take-out), a mini market for snacks and beer/wine, and three nice little cafes — Creative Grounds, Sylvan’s, and The Big Bear. There was also a little farmer’s market going on near The Big Bear on Sunday.
Five stars
