Location location location! You could get to the Capitol or Union station in a 15 minute walk. If you wanted to get to the Washington Monument or something further, it was really easy to walk over to Maryland street (1 block) and rent a city bike for $1 + a nickel a minute. That was my primary mode of transportation while I toured the federal buildings and museums. You really can’t get a better location for the price.
I really appreciated the kitchen and it was decently stocked as far as utensils, wine opener, baking sheets etc. There wasn’t any oil or salt which meant I would have had to buy that to cook anything. I ended up using some leftover butter from rolls at dinner one night.
The bed was decently comfortable and there was plenty of space. The front and back doors had big metal gate door that made me feel extra safe as a single female traveler. The carpet really could have used a vacuum and the tiles a mopping. Overall, this place met my needs and I’d recommend it.
