The location is about a block from Union Station which is great to catch the Metro. Highly suggest the app SmarTrip to load money/swiping to pay Metro fares. Circulator buses are free rides around the National mall, hop on and off. Suggest if you don’t think you received the inbox check in notification, reboot your phone, then my message came through, phew! We were worried there for a bit?! Check in went well, lobby is nice, first floor apartment, all the space a couple need for a week. The bed is really firm, but we slept well. Nice to have the microwave for leftovers, coffee supplied was a nice bonus in the morning. Close breakfast was fine at Corner bakery cafe, not many dinner options close, so plan dinners elsewhere before heading back to apartment. Grubhub delivers Wiseguy pizza which was awesome. No complaints, nice stay.
