My family and I had a great stay. The proximity of the metro makes this a great place to stay if you do not have a car. All the amenities of home are present including, but not limited to, air conditioning, laundry, privacy provided by three bedrooms, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, stove top, coffee maker, etc. We took advantage of all of the amenities. While at the residence, we really felt like we were at home.
My one down side, and it cannot be helped, is the Anacostia neighborhood . There were few establishments within reasonable walking distance to dine, get an after dinner dessert, or to grab groceries and/or necessities. There is a Starbucks very close for a morning or afternoon coffee or snack. The nights were, interesting, especially for a west coast suburbanite. Sirens, helicopters, and firecrackers were the norm. I would not recommend nighttime adventures, especially by foot.
I will qualify the above statement by saying that I never felt unsafe. It was just a very new experience and one that I think is important for an out of town traveler looking for a place to stay.
