This apartment is below street level with several stairs going down to the front door. Once inside, it is a lovely apartment with plenty of space. We were there for a week (sharing it with friends) and it felt comfortable and homey right from day one. The kitchen is perfect; all four of us could work on our portion of dinners at the same time without getting in each other's way. Two bathrooms is a plus, and the beds were very comfortable. We will stay there again on our next visit to DC.
