The location of this apartment is FABULOUS!!! There are small groceries and restaurants on the block, and you are one block from the Metro. Even if it's not running, the apartment is walking distance from just about everything! The neighborhood is eclectic and lively, but the windows create a quiet, sound-proof sleep. It's small and cozy. We had our 26 year-old son, and it was plenty of space for the 3 of us. Truly delightful! (Be aware that the stairs are steep!) Joan was a delightful host to welcome us, and we never needed any help after that.
