At first glance, we were a little unsure about the neighborhood but as the week went by, we became more confident and comfortable in the area. We loved taking the Metro everywhere and walking - even during Covid times Delta surge, it was okay- especially during non peak hours. Really, the Shaw area is very close to lots of things! Even the grocery store was nicer than I expected (I had low expectations for some reason).
The toiletries were above and beyond- Public Goods brand which smelled great!
We had a hard time sleeping-we’re hot sleepers so your experience may vary- tried to adjust the air conditioning but in the middle of the night it was just hot. Maybe bring a thinner blanket or fan if you sleep hot?
In general, the furnishings are nice-couch was comfortable and access to laundry in the unit was appreciated.
