Benjamin’s apartment is in a great location-3 blocks to metro station, 1/2 block to Starbucks, numerous restaurants and coffee shops very close by. This is a quiet street in a vibrant neighborhood full of college students, working adults, and some young families. I felt very safe walking around the neighborhood by myself. It is probably 2 miles from the National Mall and a bit too far to walk in the summer heat, but would be very walkable in nice weather. The apartment is attractive, stylish, and very clean. Everything you need is on hand-although I couldn’t figure out how to work the coffee pot. My teenage daughter and I had a great time. Thanks Benjamin!
