This house has its pros and cons. The location is fantastic - a quite lovely street, but very close to all the main sights and sounds in Dc. It is right next to a Giant grocery store. Walkable to pretty much any where - right next to U street, close to 7th, easy walk to the national mall. Just can't be beat. I was here with my parents for 2 weeks, and managed to show them DC really well. This place is also relatively cheap for a two bedroom. There is a washer dryer in the building which is great. The kitchen is small but good enough.

The con is that the building is old, and the maintenance falls short sometimes. Bulbs not working, the back alley leading to the garbage disposal was quite messy. Till half of the stay, the gardens and the front and the back were quite unkempt. The light in the main bedroom is quite dim, and because the house is on the ground floor, insects tend to come in often.

All said and done - I would come back to this place purely for the location. I would Ideally like to rate this place a 3.5, but I lean towards a 4 for the location.
