This was a great place for our two-couple group: the apartment is clean, well-equipped, and convenient for getting around DC (the metro is a bit of a walk, but there is bus service nearby--really inexpensive way to get around. Whole Foods grocery is just a few blocks away, and several eateries are in the area. As others have mentioned, the steep flight of steps could be a challenge, and the shower tub is nearly three feet high--not suitable for those with physical limitations. The management was quick in responding when the web service went down (it wasn't their fault), but arranging a late checkout was difficult and expect an additional fee. You will be dealing with a management team by email, not the friendly in-person chat with the property owner that I've had in other stays, but they are efficient and prompt.
