The apartment was perfect for spending a long weekend in DC. Getting around the city was simple--the apartment is close to the metro and several bus stops and it's also fairly walkable. It was easy to stop by in the middle of the day to pick something up if my plans changed. The apartment is right on the street and as others have mentioned, you can hear people walking by, but it never bothered me or prevented me from falling asleep. I appreciated that Jon-Joseph provided detailed information about the area, both about points of interest and safety, e.g. nearest hospitals, police stations. He also left metro cards and discount cards to use for the member prices at the Safeway right across the street, which was a thoughtful gesture. I didn't have any issues while staying there and would certainly go back if I'm in DC again.
