Kirk's place in a fun and convenient neighborhood to Capitol Hill, the metro, and tons of great stores and restaurants. We even stumbled upon the sunset parade at the military barracks which was great fun. The garden apartment was comfortable enough for our family of four, plus my mom, and it was nice to have street parking and a great shower. A few minor issues stopped me from rating this 5 stars - the air conditioning was having a hard time keeping up with the 90+ temps, and a few fans would have helped. It was super convenient to cook our meals here, but the place heated up quickly and the smoke detectors were super touchy. That said, I don't think these details would stop me from staying here again...just maybe in the winter next time. ;-)
