The apartment was clean, well lit and very comfortable. There were fresh flowers and fruit awaiting us, as well as a bottle of wine. The refrigerator was stocked with water, soda, beer and some lite breakfast fare. The bed was big and very comfortable; with a heavy comforter and soft pillows. John left a very detailed note with suggested area restaurants and places to see. The location is two blocks from the Capital Building and very convenient to the National Mall, Smithsonian Museums, and the Metro line. We highly recommend John as a host and this apartment as a great spot to stay while in the national's capital.
