I stayed here during a month-long work assignment. I had targeted places close to a Metro stop and I hit the jackpot! I could get from the apartment to my government building (near the Washington Monument) in as few as 8 minutes on the Blue/Orange/Silver lines. It's a 30-second walk to the Eastern Market metro. The apartment itself is perfectly functional -- a table, a bed, a couch, a TV, a bathroom. I should have used the kitchen more - but didn't.

Sy, who shares the kitchen and the bathroom from his room in the very rear of the unit, is a gentle and kind person. However, in a month he and I only crossed paths a handful of times.

The couch is long enough that two small children could sleep end to end. My 21-year-old who visited was perfectly comfortable on it.

Honestly, as expensive as DC hotels are, this is a great alternative. It is primarily one room, so if there are needs for individual privacy (beyond the bathroom) this might be not be a fit. But for a single, a couple, or a couple with children, I highly recommend it.
