We really enjoyed our stay. It was GREAT proximity to the metro, groceries and dining. Parking is labeled as needing a permit and the host assured us we would be fine without one. We did not experience any issues, but we were a little anxious about getting a ticket. We looked it up and you are able to get a visitor pass from the local police department if you find it necessary. We were traveling with our two younger children and we felt safe at our stay. Unfortunately there was not microwave for late night popcorn or heating leftovers, but we made do with the other kitchen items available. All-in-all, a good stay.
