The flat worked perfectly for our week long strictly tourist trip of D.C. We didn't rent car so having close easy access to Metro was essential and the U street station is only a few blocks away. The neighborhood has plenty of eating options, coffee shops, and grocery stores to keep you well fed and caffeinated. The flat itself was spacious with room to spread out. My husband was jealous of the fast and reliable wifi. The decor is as pictured and the king bed is firm and comfortable. All the appliances worked great and the kitchen is stocked with basic utensils to make meals. Upon arrival the fridge already had bottled water, milk, and the kitchen counter had fruit, granola bars and coffee essentials. This was a great "welcome gift" . The flat is private but the host is responsive and had good tips about the neighborhood dining scene. It was wonderful to come "home" each evening after 9+ hours of touring D.C. Sights and relax and recharge.
