The apartment is on a quiet street, just a few blocks away from great food, nightlife, and shopping. The U-Street neighborhood may not be best if you are wanting to do the museums and monuments, but as far as being in the city in a clean, well-equipped space, you can't do better. The bathroom is newly renovated and very clean. The kitchen has what you need to cook from home, and the washer/dryer is a great bonus. The space is small, but for an individual or couple, it's plenty of space. Check in is a breeze--I arrived quite late and had zero issues with self check-in. Nisha was kind and responsive.
