I stayed here for a few days with my 9-year-old son when we came to DC for a wedding. The apartment was spotless and looked exactly like the photos, and I felt safe walking the neighborhood. We saw lots of families with strollers and dogs during the day. Alison was amazing with communication, quickly responding to any questions I had. The apartment had all of the amenities we needed and some I hadn't thought of; it was especially nice to have coffee on hand! And I was glad for the travel-sized toothpaste when I had forgotten to pack my own.
A couple of grocery stores are within easy reach and the area appears to have some fun restaurants (I didn't have a chance to check them out). Alison left clear, detailed instructions and a fantastically exhaustive list of places to check out as well as tips for getting around. We used Uber or Lyft almost exclusively and found that they were always within a few minutes of arriving and the rates were good for getting to any of the local attractions. We had a great experience and would stay here again!
