The apartment was great for my daughter and me. We stayed for 1 month and we were very comfortable, it has a full kitchen, oven, washer, and dryer great for longer stays. The building is a bit old, but the apartment has been renewed and has nice floors, easy to clean and I loved the lighting in the kitchen area. There is a bus stop literally outside the building and buses take you in 15-20 minutes downtown and all touristic places. The surrounding area is OK, its close to Columbia Heights and nearby shops/stores.
