This is an excellent place from which to explore DC! The apartment is on a beautiful, quiet, tree-lined street of elegant homes. Easily within walking distance of the Mall and Capitol or the Metro if you are going further afield (or have little ones). The apartment is comfortable, clean and spacious. If you are traveling with a baby/toddler, there is a pack-and-play and plenty of quiet, darkened spaces to put them to sleep. Laundry is great! Kitchen is clean and well stocked.
It is very much a basement apartment: very little natural light and you can hear the footsteps of the residents above. The rear bedrooms have windows into an enclosed subterranean light well, not the outdoors. That said, there was no mustiness or dampness. We slept very well!
