Douglas had Perrier and chocolates waiting for us which was great after the walk from the metro with our luggage - quite a warm afternoon. The location was very accessible to two metro train lines plus it was a very easy walk to the White House and the mall. There is also a Whole Foods not far. The apartment was clean with cool decorations. We didn't cook in the kitchen except making coffee and tea but it appeared to have everything needed to prepare meals. Good amount of refrigerator space but not much space to store dry goods although there is a little counter space, top of fridge, and bar shelf. TV and wifi worked well. The apartment got lots of light thus warmth being on the top floor so very thankful the central air worked well too. It was nice to have more space than offered at a hotel especially when one of us was up earlier or later than the other. We didn't get to enjoy the patio since we were out most of the time.
We kept the codes in a text message so they were easy to find when trying to access building, elevator, and apartment. The neighborhood was safe and the apartment secure.
If you like scooters, the city has them to rent with some typically outside the apartment or across the street. We wish we had taken advantage of them - didn't try them until the night we were leaving and they were fun! We also recommend looking into the Connector buses while navigating the city.
