This was a very nice place for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids. One bedroom had no windows, which made it perfect for some of our "up with the sun" people to get a little more shut-eye. There was an extra trundle-bed under the queen in the other room, which was a pleasant surprise! The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed, and the WiFi worked well. We were happy with the on-site laundry machines, which we used at least 2 or 3 times while we were there.
We used the Metro almost exclusively to get around, and it worked very well. There's a Safeway right near the local Metro stop, which was very convenient. For a spot even closer to the apartment, I highly recommend Gee's Market. It's a very cozy little corner store, for drinks and snacks.
There were a few streets in the nearby area that were a bit sketchy (including Newton, which was the easiest route to get over to Georgia), but overall the neighborhood was reasonable. We found a couple of local restaurants that were really quite good, Pantry and Top Spanish Cafe.
