All reviews that I've seen describe the apartment very well. It' s neat, inexpensive, and in a good location (close to metro). I would agree that it's easy to hear the upstairs neighbors, but we had read about that, so it was no big deal. TV and all appliances worked well. Overall, this was a great, budget-friendly place to sleep between days of walking around and exploring Washington. Having a grocery store very close was a big plus, and minus a couple of people under the influence who we simply stepped around, we felt the neighborhood was safe (8.5 out of 10 on safety). We had an 11 and 14 year-old with us and never feared for their safety, though we did keep them a little close down the sidewalks. Having said this, we would have no problem whatsoever staying here again, especially for the reasonable pricing.
