My wife, grandson and I spent 5 nights there in early April. The place was clean and comfortable for us. We walked to the Giant food store and bought groceries mainly for breakfast. The supplies in the kitchen square appropriate. My grandson slept on the sofa bed and he said it was comfortable. The number one thing about this apartment is location. It was about a five minute walk to Union Station. We started our days off using the metro from there to the various sites we visited. It was very convenient for the Capital, Library of Congress and Supreme Court. For that matter, you could walk to any of the Smithsonian's also. About 50 yards down the street was a convenience store called Union Kitchen. We did buy some wonderful Italian sandwiches there for supper one night.

We had no trouble finding the place and it had everything we needed. It's conveniently located between a fabulous small local market and a wonderful coffee shop. Union Station is about 2 blocks away and there are plenty of things to do. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet and felt safe.

Neighborhood was terrific with a coffee shop and market on the block. Entry and checkout was a breeze at 11pm and the apt was spotless. It was the best bang for the buck and the location was so close to the capitol I walked every day.

PROS: The location of this place was very nice. The owner does respond in a timely manner. A lot of places within walking distance, such as, a coffee shop, an Indian restaurant (really delicious), a gentrified bodega on the corner and a Whole Foods 10 minutes away (walking distance) from the location. You also have the union station near you and the park in front of it. CONS: There was that there was a LOT of mosquitoes/flies to the entrance of the basement. We had to constantly kill them when they got inside. We notified the owner and asked if they’re was anything they can do about it, they replied saying to put bleach but we instead went to buy raid to be safe. There was also small worms entering the location. We didn’t know where they were coming from but it became a hassle to deal with those bugs. I do hope the owner contacts a fumigator to get those issues under control. The furniture also seemed fragile, we had laid on the bed and it immediately had one of the legs snap. We notified the owner right away. While waiting for the owner’s response, we checked under the bed and the legs of the bed were slanted. It was barely holding the bed. We asked the owner if we had they’re permission to fix it and they said yes. Thankfully, it wasn’t hard to fix. I do recommend that they check the legs of the bed frame because it seemed to be easily moved if you got on it. Another issue we had, was having people upstairs walk like as if they’re giants. Constant loud thumps and moving furniture. We ignored it but it did get annoying at a certain point, so beware of that. Toilet paper is provided but paper towel isn’t, which I found weird (we had to buy one). Overall, the place was okay. I would rate it a 6.5/10
