The apartment was very clean and the host provided information on local activities. The check in was very quick and easy and the key pad made it nice for a family of 6 to not need to trade off a key throughout the day. The location was perfect - only a block from the capital and easy walking distance to anywhere on the mall. The neighborhood was very safe and quite charming. We were able to park on the street for free overnight and move it during the day to a garage that was only $20/day and a 3 min walk. We would stay here again on future visits to DC.
