Location, half a block from the Cleveland Park Metro station, is fabulous. I needed to travel all over the place during the four days I was in DC, and I had no problem getting anywhere easily. It is also a nice walk away from the National Zoo, which is delightful. The commercial strip on Connecticut Avenue has just about everything you need. If you have mobility issues, note that the apartment building is a little ways up a sharply sloped street, and there are lots of steps to climb. (The unit itself is on the third floor.) I had to make two trips, one with each bag...but I'm getting older, and I have a bad knee. May be less of a problem for someone younger and more spry. Typical vintage studio apartment...will meet the needs of one or two people. Nice skylight in the bathroom.
