This rental is just a few block from the Capitol - an AWESOME location for touring or working on the Hill. We were able to easily walk to wonderful restaurants, grocery stores, and many of Washington's greatest museums and historic sites. Any locations that we didn't want to walk to were an $8 or less Lyft/Uber ride.
For a working trip, this unit is very close to the Supreme Court and all Senate and House office buildings.
The host, Brian, was incredibly attentive and helpful. He checked on us regularly (via email) to assure a comfortable stay.
The apartment is about the size of a large hotel room, but with a full kitchen. The bed was comfortable, shower was hot, cable was good and Internet was quick. Some of the furniture is a bit dated and rough, but not a problem. There is an LG washer/dryer combo in the unit, but we highly recommend that you use the building's shared dryers. The central A/C stopped working the last few days, but since it was mid-October we assume the building was switched over from air to heat. The windows have permanent ornamental iron bars, so leaving a window open at any time wasn't a problem.
We had a great trip and would use Brian's properties again.
