Apt is under ground, and Lance/family live above. Street level and the bustling city was right outside your door. Unit was very clean, had modern touches, and updated. Lighting was good although not much natural light. Comfortable accommodations. Also furnished w/pots/pans to cook if needed. About 30 min bus ride ( stop directly outside) from downtown/national mall. Good privacy. Minimal noise from above. Would definitely recommend and / or stay again. Thank you Lance.
