This apartment has a breathtaking view and is in a great location steps away from the Metro! We loved hanging out on the balcony, but also appreciated being able to retreat from the hot July weather into the air conditioning. We also were thankful to have a washing machine and dishwasher available. As others have mentioned, the second bedroom is small but worked fine for our two kids. We cooked in the kitchen one evening and were able to make a meal, although it would be nice to have an extra saucepan or two. I've told the host about a few minor items that need attention, but overall this is a nice apartment!
