I am still surprised by how inexpensive this place was. The apartment was super clean, had everything we needed and was so much better than getting a hotel room. Lyft from Dulles was a little less than $40. Lyft to the mall was less than $10 but we used the free street car which is a 3 minute walk from the apartment. It makes a stop near Whole Foods on it's way to/from Union Station. Union Station is full of restaurants, so you can pick up breakfast on your way to the Mall or dinner on your way home. At Union Station, you can catch a free DC Circulator bus that takes you all around the mall. From the mall, you can catch the free South Shuttle (?) that takes you to the Wharf. Jodi responded very quickly any time I had questions. The only thing I would say, is that it is not in a great neighborhood but the neighbors that we came across were very friendly.
