This walk-down apartment worked out very well for us (family of 4). It is located 15 minutes walk from the National Mall an only 5 minutes from the nearest Metro station - there is a Safeway conveniently located right at the Metro exit. The area is quiet and safe. The apartment has recently been fully renovated and had all new appliances except the dryer. Besides the bottle of wine to welcome us, little details like providing the soap packets for the laundry and dishwasher were much appreciated. The apartment was a welcome home base for us after a hot day out taking in the sights.
