We flew into DCA, took the Metro to Capitol South, and easily walked to this apartment with our luggage. There was some road/utility work going on out front during our stay so we had to navigate that, but that's obviously not the owner's and it didn't really hinder us. This apartment is easily walkable to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, National Mall things, and so many restaurants. And when we didn't feel like walking, it was easy to get on a Metro or bus. It was just my wife and me so the space was definitely adequate, but for any more people, the bathroom would be very tight. It's certainly doable! But just a heads up. It was quite cold during our trip, so the electric fireplace was a cozy treat! Kristin was perfectly responsive to messages and very welcoming and accommodating. My wife is a self-proclaimed clean freak and she was happy with this place! When we left DC, my wife was already ready to go back, and we would definitely consider staying here on another trip if we get to return.
