Highly recommend Paul's place. Very convenient to the National Mall via metro or walking (about a mile, flat, safe, on sidewalks). Very comfortable apartment with fun and sophisticated decor. A lovely oasis of calm and cool in the heat of the city. He even left a little chocolate and cold water to greet us. The bed was comfy, with soft linens and an extra blanket. Beautiful garden surrounds the home; wish I'd had a cup of coffee on the patio. (He even had coffee and a coffee maker ready for us!)
