The place is just as described. Check in was easy. It was very clean, it has everything you need, the kitchen was well equiped. I have two kids so the washer and dryer was a plus. It is about a 15 min drive to all the site seeing in DC. We did not use public transport but there was a bus station right in the corner of the apartments. There were parking spaces available which was great, but when full there was street parking. The host was available when we locked ourselves out. Overall we felt safe in the area. We would definitely stay here again.
