The owner is very responsive. The check in and check out process is very easy through a lock box. So, you can arrive and depart whenever we you want. The location is very close to the metro station. There are restaurants, CVS and other places in walking distance. I walked to an Ethiopian fast food place close by and the food was excellent. It is also in walking distance to the 14th street with many other stores and restaurants. The only thing that you should know is that the unit is in the third floor and there are no elevators. Not too many stairs though. I had no problem but for elderly people or people with walking or climbing problems, it might be an issue. I enjoyed my stay a lot in this unit visiting my daughter in Washington DC.
