Diane was a wonderful and helpful host giving us hints on restaurants, parking, metro stops, etc. the apartment is perfectly located about three blocks from the metro stop and from the tour bus that we used. there is a grocery store two blocks away, reasonable and covered parking two blocks away and restaurants galore. the apartment is more than adequate for 2 to 4 people and we enjoyed the stay very much. we would recommend this as a great value in a great location; we are planning to return to the apartment in the future.
