The place is immaculate, well stocked and comfortable as can be. I didn’t pay enough attention to the original posting to realize the apartment is the basement level of the beautiful row house. We could hear the residents above if they ran but it wasn’t loud enough to bother any of us. Regardless, it was very nice space with a private secure entrance. Adam communicated everything we needed to know and was responsive to questions. Our Uber drivers came up the same road every time (Newark- I think as directed by Google Maps). I wouldn’t walk down that particular street after dark and maybe not even in daylight but the vast majority of the neighborhood was nice. It seems to be a neighborhood in transition- lots of homes being fixed up and remodeled.
It was about $17 for an Uber XL to get 5 of us to the monuments and capital museums. It was about $3 per person for the Metro so we mainly chose the Uber. The metro in DC is impressive, fast and clean, although a few of the stations are super sketchy. We enjoyed the space and would stay again.
