Location is within convenient proximity to National Mall and other sights to see, however, some of the nearby neighborhood streets & the characters out and about made me a little nervous, since I was visiting alone with just my kids. (But that seemed to be most of DC.) The liquor store right next door to this basement apt looked scarier than it actually was- didn’t actually see anyone questionable hanging around or going in/out of it. The grocery store was a 4-minute walk from the apt. There’s no outside space to sit or hangout, but I believe there was a photo of the back courtyard space in the listing. But just beware that space was closed off and said private property. There were some flying bugs in the bathroom, the kind you get when there’s sitting water somewhere in the pipes. Not terrible, but noticeable when using bathroom sink & shower. Also same bugs were swarming right outside front door, where a drain sits. There was only 1 roll of TP & paper towels, so come prepared for that. The kitchen light is set on a motion sensor and I couldn’t figure out how to turn that off, so that was a little inconvenient considering one of my kids slept on the couch in the living room space, which is connected to the kitchen. The space would feel cramped if more than 4 people were staying. There’s not much space in the living room to get comfortable and watch a movie or anything like that unless you’re sitting straight up on the small couch or chair. Parking outside is limited to 2 hours, and there are restricted hours/days, but there was free unrestricted parking just around the corner on the other side of the intersection. Anyone in front bedroom will hear every sound from the street, so if light sleeper, bring ear plugs. Overall it wasn’t too bad, just not 100% ideal for my own preferences/comfort.
