Loved the neighborhood. Great supermarket (Giant) and ice cream store very close. Liked the La Colombe coffee shop too. Walked to most places in the Mall area of Washington. 20 to 30 mins to get to the north side of the Mall. Not a problem for us. Kitchen and dining area doesn't get much natural light but the bedrooms get tons and the place overall felt spacious. We cook in the evening so we really appreciated how many spices, oils, utensils, pots there were and the gas range and large refrigerator. That the washer/dryer were right outside our apartment door was very handy too. As we come from the dry moderate climate of northern California we needed the window a/c units on at night to sleep in the warm humidity and they are pretty noisy - but I believe that's true of all such cooling units. If there are people in the apartment above you will hear their footsteps and if they shout you'll hear their voices. Overall it was an amazing location and we loved the whole week.
