Kelly was super easy to communicate with and her instructions for getting into the apartment were very clear. The space is perfect for a nice visit to DC. Clean. Comfortable bed. Perfect kitchen for making simple breakfast in the morning and refrigerator for storing leftovers from the amazing DC restaurants. Trader Joe's is walking distance away. It's easy to use the bus and metro to get to the White House and other areas of interest. U street is definitely worth checking out and has a lot of good places to eat. We enjoyed Ethiopian food at Keren's, Cuban coffee at Colada, and don't miss Jeni's ice cream. You won't regret it. Also, Maydan is totally worth splurging on.
I didn't see an elevator. The apt is in the second floor and you must climb the stairs.
