We were disappointed in our stay at Ann’s apartment. While all of the most basic necessities were there, other things were lacking. First, the items in the kitchen cabinet needed to be washed before we could use them. Also, we were there during a heat wave (with temperatures in the mid 90s) and the portable air conditioning unit didn’t sufficiently cool down the room to sleep comfortably. Lastly, the apartment should have been cleaner upon arrival. That being said the apartment is a 10 minute walk from a metro station and it is easy to get to the center and to the national mall via metro. If you’re traveling alone and are strictly focused on an inexpensive place to stay it isn’t bad, but if you want somewhere comfortable to rest after a long day I recommend staying elsewhere.
