Lovely stay
The apartment was great with plenty of room for the whole family and the location is within walking distance between a coffee shop and a pub with a quick 10 minute drive to the National mall. There is no TV in the apartment so bring your laptop and the only thing that could have made it better would be a small dining table with a few chairs.

Great place in heart of DC.
We loved our short stay at Dr. Koura's place. The apartment is centrally located, but still on a quiet and pretty street. It only took me steps to get a coffee in the morning and we found parking quite easy. Apartment was clean and we had everything we need. Should stay again!

Everything was good. Nice location, disappointed with the pricing apr sleeps 6 but we were charged extra for a 4th person . We were told extra towels were in the closet but there were only 3 towels and 3 blankets . No coffee or other snacks available. It was clean and safe.

I love traveling to far and fascinating places around the world. I am honored to host you at my home in DC. I welcome all guests of many nations and nationalities.

Why they chose this property

This is my second home. I lived in it for 4 years. It is located in Bloomingdale, NW, DC, in one of the most sought after communities in the area. The homes in this neighborhood are gorgeous and stately Victorians. I no longer live here and offer it to budget travelers visiting our Nation's Capital.

What makes this property unique

The real benefit of staying in my home is that it is safe, clean, central, and very affordable for budgeted travelers.
