The apartment was great, exactly as described. It was spacious, clean and even though it is partially below ground there were lots of windows for light and fresh air. The kitchen was very well-equipped which is important to me since I like to make breakfast before heading out for the day. And after coming back at night from a long day of being a tourist, having the off-street parking spot was great! Although as another reviewer had noted, the steps leading to the door are quite steep, there are only 4 of them and there's a handrail - we're respectively 65 and 70 and managed fine. The location was perfect - it was a pretty easy walk to Library of Congress and the Capitol and there are a few excellent restaurants a short walk away (Cafe Berlin, Bistro Cacao were wonderful, didn't get to try Nostra Cucina - it's not open on Sunday but maybe next time). And all this for around the price of a single hotel room where you have to pay $40 or more per night for parking and are lucky to have a mini fridge and microwave. Highly recommended!
