We stayed at Marty’s place for a short visit to DC to tour American University. It’s a great location and likely many other guests would find it a 5 of 5 vs our 4 of 5 rating
Pros:
Location - fabulous neighborhood, easy walk to Metro and restaurants. Even close enough to walk to the Mall and Georgetown. Micromobility options abound if you prefer a bike or scooter.
Amenities - true 2 bedroom and (must have for us) laundry in the apartment. Full dining table that seats 4 comfortably.
Cons:
We found the master bedroom cold and were unable to get the temperature comfortable (weather was overcast and highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s while we were there). It appeared to me to be a limitation of where the heating duct vents were in the apartment (we only saw them in the living room)
Perhaps a personal preference item, but we also didn’t find bed in the master bedroom very comfortable. It was a foam mattress that had us both rollng toward the middle.
Other comments:
We didn’t hear any noise from the apartment above which was great, although the two newspapers on the stoop when we left maybe suggest it was empty during our stay.
Being a garden apartment, it is quite dark, slightly more than I expected in comparison to two other such apartments we’ve stayed in before.
