The penthouse apartment was beautiful and the view from the glass windows was worth the price.
Check in and check out were fairly easy and we got instructions in advance. There is a supermarket nearby for necessities and a metro station provides easy commute options. The neighborhood had people passing through and did not feel isolated.
This apartment is not a dedicated unit to be rented out - it is the host's home and this was communicated to us. So while a bit more closet space would have been nice, the existing items did not come as a surprise. Overall, this was a great experience during our trip to DC.
