Great apartment with the exception of the noise from the trash pick up right in front of the unit. Not a big deal except every night around midnight, 3 separate big trucks pick up the trash.
If you are out late, you probably won't care.
Aside from that, the location is great- easy walking distance to the metro, restaurants, night life, etc.
Daniel's tip for acting like a local were great. We did have a good time- it is a very nice apartment.
