This apartment was a fine base for our visit to Washington DC. Walking is quite possible in the day, a little iffy at night but we did fine. Buses run by and the subway is about 10 min walk. The balance between price of apartment and distance to Mall worked for us. Several food stores are nearby. The ambiance of driving into an alley, the parking, and the many varieties of housing and courtyards and all found in tight city quarters was fun. Apartment was clean and neat. Beds slept well. Overall, everything was just fine.
