This is a very nice, clean and ideally situated rental, quite pleasant. Several good restaurants and cafes are a short walk away. For those on a budget, note that parking anywhere around the apartment is extremely expensive and complicated (e.g. $40+ for 24 hours). For any guests who need to park a rental car for a few days, it seems best to park on the outskirts of DC and then take the subway (which is quick, convenient, cheap, safe). Once you are at the apartment, the National Mall and Smithsonian are just a few minutes away by subway.
