From a location point of view, for easy access to the Mall and all the sights there, for easy access to the metro then Travis's place is first class. For breakfast or going out to dinner, then expect to have to walk 20 or 30 minutes or take the metro, time will be around the same. Grocery store around a 10 minute walk. Probably because it is so popular with a fast turnaround of visitors the apartment has a slightly 'worn' look, could do with a good spruce up, not dirty exactly just worn, all the rooms. If you are a late sleeper or suffer the occasional hangover then expect to be woken early, young children upstairs who appear to practice the long jump around 6/7 in the morning. We felt safe there all the time.
