8th Street is only a block away from the Washington Convention Centre yet it felt like we were in a shady suburb well away from the city centre. The apartment was clean, very spacious and incredibly welcoming. Two bedrooms and a great living area made it very easy to unpack, relax and enjoy a bit of a rest before attacking the city and its offerings. The apartment is in a three storey building with churches on two corners of the block it is set in. COnvenient to all the City as the Mt Vernon Subway is only two blocks away. Shops were a little distance but once found it was easy to get things when out walking. Adreinne has provided an excellent place to stay. I will certainly try to access this aprtment again. Bob.
