If you are interested in exploring Rock Creek Park, Mount Pleasant/Adams Morgan, or the National Zoo, this is a really nice place to base yourself. It is a classic DC garden apartment on a quiet street. Like any garden apartment you are in close proximity to your upstairs neighbors but, in this case, your hosts are very accommodating and gracious. My only complaint was that our minivan could not fit in the off street parking space...but Courtney just let us use her street parking pass and that worked out just fine.
