Could not have asked for a better location. Incredibly close to the Metro, which took us all over the city. Yes, there is a shower inside the bedroom. For a couple, this wasn’t an issue, but I could see how it might be slightly uncomfortable (but manageable) for a larger party. As some others have mentioned, the stairs leading up to the apartment are not for the faint of heart (or knees)! There are many and they are somewhat treacherous. All that said, it was a wonderful stay at a charming apartment in an amazing location.
