We had a wonderful stay at this unit. It made our vacation! The apartment is renovated with modern appliances. It was clean and well lit, and was a convenient walk to all of the National Mall locations. The added bonus of having a kitchen saved us money. There is a corner grocery store two blocks away on East Capitol and 4th Street. It has everything you need and wine too. For restaurants and bars, there is a good selection of them 4 blocks south on Pennsylvania Ave SE. Kenny's BBQ/Smokehouse is a must on Maryland and 8th Street. We spent 4 days at this apartment and I hope to be able to return to it on the next visit to DC.
