The apartment was beautiful and very spacious. Matthew was great with communication and very helpful when we had questions.
The apartment is located about a 4 minute walk from the bus stop, which is a straight shot to the National Mall. We took the bus there and I believe it was a 15 minute walk that put us at the start of the National Mall. The ride back to the house, we took the bus right in front of the White House and it dropped us off at the bus stop that was a 4 minute walk away from the house.
There are some restaurants close by to walk to if you want.
The apartment did come with a garage, but it was a tight squeeze for our van, so if you have a smaller vehicle, it will work. There is parking in front of the house, but it was all occupied by the time we arrived late at night.
We loved this place and would stay again. Like it is mentioned in the house manual, this is a city and definitely be cautious when you are out. We did walk to the little store on the corner because we arrived late on a Thursday night and had already parked the van in the garage. There was some gun fire heard in the distance and sirens heard throughout most the night and Friday night as well as people being loud. We didn't notice it too much on the main level, but the teenagers heard it all night they said upstairs. It could have just been a crazy time while we were there, definitely made memories for the teenagers first experience in D.C.
This is in no way a reflection on this house or the owners, I just wanted to give a heads up to the next guest that this is a very active city and the house does feel safe.
