DC is a rapidly changing city. This apartment is ideally located by a nice Metro stop and a really wonderful little neighborhood. You can walk to the Howard University or Columbia Heights neighborhoods. Or hop on a train and be anywhere in DC with a short trip. Plus, our dog loved the apartment. Lots of sun, nice little kitchen and comfy places to take a nap in the sun. It's more than a bit "city" but it is a really nice place. We had a great time and Carey was a great host - easy to contact and very helpful.
