The location of this apartment was really good. A 10-15 minute walk from the edge of the National Mall. It was in a safe area and there was enough space for our family of four. I believe this is a dog friendly place and I guess as a result of this we had an issue with the amount of dog hair on most of the blankets and in the common areas. It wasn’t dirty but it was too much for us. The sounds of the dogs scratching or running directly above the bedroom at 6.30 every morning couldn’t be ignored as well, but it wasn’t excessive. Despite the above the provided books were really great and we had no other issues.
