Our stay here was great! The location is awesome. It’s a 5 minute walk to the Rock Creek Path, which was nice for morning runs. The immediate neighborhood is quiet and residential, but a block up there is great food and nice cafes. The nearest metro station is a 12 minute walk, so getting to the National Mall generally took 35-45 minutes. Its also about a 20 minute walk to Adams Morgan. We had no problem street parking in the neighborhood, but make sure to ask in advance for a parking permit. Also, regardless of where you stay in DC, highly recommend getting a protector for your car’s catalytic converter - ours got stolen :(
The apartment itself is an English basement, but the living room gets good light during the day. The kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, coffee machine, pasta strainer, etc. We needed to get a can opener, but that was about it.
