We had a wonderful stay at Dick & Carol's basement unit. The streets felt very safe even walking late at night. We ordered online pickup from Al's pizza two doors down so it was ready when we arrived in DC. We walked to Potomac Metro Station each morning. In the late evenings we got off at Eastern Market and picked up food and groceries from Trader Joes and walked back. If you are doing a driving day out to Arlington etc, Wed is a great day as that is when the car needs to moved for the street sweeper at 9AM. The apartment had plenty of room. You do need to go though the bedroom to get to the bathroom which was not a problem for us. We used the roomy bedroom closet as a changing area. We were impressed by the amount of hot water available for showers. Everything was in working order. LOTS of storage. Plenty of extras were available for cooking (pans, seasonings, and other odds and ends). Enjoyed the porch area and windows- Nice roomy apartment!
