This apartment was a WONDERFUL location if you are planning to explore Capitol Hill and use the Metro. You literally walk across the street and you are at the Eastern Market metro station. It was close to all our favorites on Barracks Row and has necessities near by if you forget something from home. Kelly was a wonderful host; wonderful communication and responsiveness for when we needed some things while we were there. I actually enjoyed hearing their family upstairs and felt like we were a "part of things" more. Highly recommend for the value and the location.
