The rooms were very conveniently located but there are a number of things to plan for. The back gate you see in the picture is suppose to have string to pull to open it. There was no string but if you pulled the doors toward you you can get your hand in the crack to flip the latch. There is no heat in the apartment save an electric radiator which was not plugged in when I arrived at 6 pm in the evening with 19 degrees outside. The first night was a bit frigid but I left the radiator plugged in and by the second evening it was livable. The bath is beautifully done but the only soap was a bar which was used by previous guest I suppose. There is a supermarket about 4 blocks away where you can pick up some body wash. Be prepared for the people who live upstairs to come in and out to do their laundry which is located under the stairs. There is a coffee pot but no coffee so you will want to pick some up if you need the morning cup. There are a number of good restaurants about three or four blocks away on H street.
