My active 80-year-old mother-in-law and I enjoyed our stay. It is a short walk to the Metro or you can exit the apartment, go right and about 25 minutes later you are at the National Mall. In the area, we found a grocery store and numerous bars, restaurants and beer & bar gardens. We were gone most of the day and used the apartment to sleep and eat breakfast before heading out again. It was equipped with everything we needed. The only unexpected thing was that there wasn't a coffee maker, but we were prepared with instant coffee so no issues. You can hear noise from the people in the apartment above, but it didn't interfere with sleeping as it quieted down by 10 or 10:30. Overall, we were very happy with the location and condition of the apartment and would stay there again!
