Brenda's place was nice and comfortable, well located near some restaurants, a reasonable walk to the metro (Georgia Ave/Petworth) and a seemingly nice neighborhood. My son and I had a nice stay and were perfectly happy there. The living room in particular was a really nice space to hang out in - though we didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment. It would be better for a couple as my son slept on the couch in his sleeping bag (he likes to sleep that way). But I imagine for the right people/family it could work for 3 as it's rated. There were a few occasions of noise from upstairs but it always quieted down early. The only real problem was that we ran out of hot water one morning when I really wanted a shower. It seems the hot water tank must serve both upstairs and down as we hadn't used any hot water yet that day and there was water running upstairs for a long time before I tried to shower. That said, it was only once and the tank is in the apartment so I turned the heat up on Brenda's suggestion.
