The location is truly excellent and the unit layout is sensible for a large family, if a bit smaller than one expects. The apartment has/had numerous issues: did not have dependable hot water; was not well cleaned; has a 'dilapidated' feel - dirty walls, splintering deck, banister with unattached piece; living room sofa-beds uncomfortable (unless you like springs); inoperable shades; broken lid on electric kettle. We travel often to DC. Host responded immediately to communication, but no issues were remedied. We would return to this location but only after seriously improved.
