We loved the location and it was the main reason we chose Oscar's place. It was a very short distance to the Metro, about a 2-minute walk, and then about a ten minute ride to the monuments. Oscar was very helpful with suggestions and advice and he was easy to reach as needed. We also loved the ability to cook dinners in the kitchen and lounge back each evening watching Netflix after walking through DC all day.
The only drawback would be the age of the apartment (older windows with air units, older shower with slow draining tub) and the noisy city scape (probably a quieter area of DC but not used to the noise and would bring a sound machine) - things that couldn't be helped or we weren't used to. This trip was just my daughter and I and we felt safe staying in this area.
We would definitely stay here again!!
