The house has a number of pluses. The location is good with easy access to stores and restaurants on or near H Street and in Union Market. It is a nice longish walk to the Capitol and the Mall, and not too far from Union Station. Lovely trees and blocks of townhomes make for a pleasant neighborhood.
The house was very clean and had a lovely front porch. It also had a space, behind the house, for off-street parking.
But anyone considering renting the house during the summer months should know that the AC is a challenge. It cools the downstairs adequately (though it is very loud) but the bedrooms upstairs stay quite warm. I went out and bought two floor fans for the upstairs and this helped but my daughter continued to complain about the lack of cooling in her bedroom. (I was reimbursed for the fans.) Water pressure in the showers is also inconsistent.
