Matthew and Danielle were wonderful hosts! This stylish, newly constructed flat, beautifully appointed looked just like the photos. The ground floor consists of the great room with dining table for 6, couch, tv and a full kitchen. The Keurig coffee maker was well stocked. In the basement is the two bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry. The first bedroom had a private bathroom with a nice shower. The second bedroom had a queen size bunk bed! The beds were comfy! With the lower ceilings in the basement, we recommend the top bunk for children or flexible teens. The basement and the AC kept it nice and cool during the hot summer visit. The laundry supplies and linens were well stocked.
The neighborhood is a diverse. The H street corridor is full of wonderful restaurants, and a few grocery stores. We found terrific restaurants within two blocks of the unit! We enjoyed: Mozzeria DC, Maketto, Sospeso, and the Biergarten Haus. We would have found more if we had more time to explore the neighborhood.
We were in town, however to see the Capitol, museums, and monuments. The neighborhood is about 45 minutes away from the Mall by metro. We found the bus line (x2) stop was only a block away, and easy transfer at the Gallery Place metro station to catch a train line. Reagan National Airport is on a metro line, but it does require three transfers (two train, one bus). Google Map was our go-to for bus and train times. The Tram is a free line along H street, but it does run a bit slower than the bus.
The street was relatively quite (except the 4th of July which came a live with local fireworks). You can hear the neighbors in the unit above, but it generally didn't both us.
The check-in was easy, and the house manual was thorough. The keypad entry was simple to use. Danielle and Matthew were very responsive and kind!
We recommend this unit for adventurous families with teens, or couples that are looking for a place off of the beaten tourist path.
