Alper was a wonderful host! He communicated well and responded very quickly to all texts. Although we did not meet him, he took great interest in our comfort and was willing to assist us in any way. The basement apartment is exactly as described and it met our needs. Check-in was a breeze, having the key in a lock box. We had a car and was able to park it behind the apartment (giving Alper prior notice) for our entire stay. The metro stop is very close, making travel around DC extremely easy. The CVS across the street was very convenient, especially for late night gelato! Thanks for an enjoyable few days in DC and for use of the metro cards!
