Details matter. You know that Joanna is on top of things when you realize that she has programmed the deadbolt lock to the last four numbers of your mobile so that it’s easy for you to remember. And it just gets better from there!
Her place was ideal for our busy week in DC. It’s located in a lovely (safe) part of town about a half hour (depending on traffic) north of downtown. We ended up driving more than we expected but the Fort Totten Metro stop is easily accessible. We took advantage of the provided parking space, which in and of itself was worth the very reasonable lodging rate; we came home from our various excursions at different times and it was so great to just pull into our spot without having to search.
The bathroom was great! The tub was enormous! I have Parkinson’s Disease and my muscles are always taught in the morning, so I prefer a bath to a shower so that I can soak and relieve some of the tension. I’m 6’ 3” so I rarely find a tub that can reasonably fit into, but this tub was perfect. Plenty of HOT hot water and room to stretch out. I’m going to miss that tub…
The kitchenette was great to do breakfast in, and was sufficient for us to cook dinner the one night that we stayed in.
In apartment laundry was easy and came in handy.
As a card carrying Introvert I appreciated that check in was completely contactless, although I found myself wanting to meet Joanna as the week went on, out of curiosity’s sake and just to gush about how great the place was.
Not only would we book again in a heartbeat, we would completely plan our next stay around her place as a home base.
It was a great find!
