Apartment is conveniently located a block and a half from the Metro, as well as Target, CVS, and a wine and beer store. Multiple restaurants were within walking distance. This is a changing neighborhood, with plenty of updated homes mixed in with those that need or are undergoing significant repair. Everyone in our group has lived in a big city, and we all felt safe moving about during the day and evening.
This property has been updated. The unit is located in the basement, so entry requires going up a few stairs, walking several steps through a well maintained landscaped section, and then going down several stairs.
It is an overall comfortable and clean space. Queen beds in bedrooms were very comfortable, but the sofa bed was lacking. Bathrooms were clean and well supplied in every manner. Kitchen was fitted out with all the necessities for a group of four and included a large, clean refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher. Basic food items like salt and pepper, sweetener, coffee, and tea were in the cupboards. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was super helpful.
Unfortunately, we encountered several roaches on the floors throughout our stay. They were barely alive when we saw them, but they were startling nonetheless. While this may be common in DC in June, as northerners it was rather unexpected and off putting. Aside from this matter, the stay was generally pleasant, and Carlton was responsive and attentive to our concerns.
