The location was perfect for us. There is a dog park only a couple blocks away. Also, easy to walk to some great restaurants. Since there was parking, we were able to drive to other locations in the DC area as well. The apartment is cozy and perfect size for the two of us plus dogs. It is a bit dark, but we really didn't spend much time in the apartment except at night so not a big deal for us. The private outdoor seating space was nice, too.
