This place was perfect. 2 block walk to Metro lines; also 2 blocks to public bicycles, if you're so inclined. Alan has Metro map (as art) on his wall, very helpful. Upstairs neighbor is helpful, got us to Whole Foods, a 10 minute walk. Alan has additional considerations like extra umbrellas and inflatable air mattresses' for your use. Spent one night in, enjoying fireplace and drinks while watching the lightening outside. Very cozy.
