I spent two months living here while working temporarily at the Library of Congress. The apartment couldn't have suited my needs better. It sits on a quiet street just a short walk from the Capitol, the Metro, Trader Joe's, and Eastern Market (which features a farmers' and crafts market on the weekends). The apartment itself is well outfitted. I didn't do much cooking, but the small kitchen had everything I needed--including a cabinet filled with spices, sugar, olive oil, and other staples. I made frequent use of the washer/dryer, which was a great convenience. This is a basement apartment, so you will hear the occasional patter of children's feet overhead, but the space is bright, cheery, and cozy.
