The location is great, it is a few blocks from the Metro. It is close to restaurants and downtown, I walked almost everywhere. Since it is on a residential street, I didn't hear any road noise. However, since it is a basement apartment, I did hear the person walking around above and the curtains had to be drawn because of safety. The apartment was clean and well equipment; however, as it is an old building and a basement, there is a bit of a smell. The curtains have to be drawn because of the location so it was dark and the kitchen lights did not work when I arrived. Even after I called for service and was told that he would come, he did not, I finally figured out that the breaker had tripped and that is why the lights did not work. The bed and pillows were not at all comfortable and the fake leather furniture was not comfortable. I feel it is too expensive for what you get.
