Steve provided a lovely and cozy place for my fiancé and I to stay for a quick trip to D.C.! He was very accommodating and gave us thorough check-in/check-out instructions. The apartment was in a great location; easily walkable to the main attractions. I would recommend his place to anyone planning a visit to the area!

If you're staying in Washington DC you must stay at this apartment. Firstly, the area is lovely, closeby are some restaurants and it's situated in a quiet neighbourhood. The apartment is in close travelling distance to central Washington DC, with lots of public transport routes nearby. The apartment is STUNNING! Beautifully presented, with complimentary gifts for us when we arrived and all the faculties you'd need. The host was really friendly and very responsive if we needed anything or if we had any questions. Additionally, the off road parking was a bonus and easy to use. Overall, we had a lovely stay and didn't want to leave!
