Our host made the process of retrieving our key for the apartment effortless, which meant we were free to go to lunch with my son as soon as we arrived in DC with no pressure about time. When we did arrive at the apartment it was spotless and ready for us with a welcome packet full of great ideas about what to do in the neighborhood and the greater DC area. The location is literally within walking distance of great restaurants, shops and grocery stores. We had access to a car so didn't experience the transit system. Uber is easily accessible. We found the local found safe and quiet. We would stay at Susan's again!
