The location is ideal for visiting Washington DC on a budget. The Free DC street car will bring you to Union Station where you can walk across the street and catch the red circulator bus that makes stops along the National Mall the cost is a $1.00 for the circulator bus. I suggest you go online to dccirculator.com for a map of the stops. During our stay at Apartment #2 we had a few issues.
The shower control knob is frozen, so when you t/on the water beware the shower comes on immediately. The cold water knob does not work you have to squeeze as you turn it.
The only other issue we had was being without tv for the first 3 days. The remote went out and a new one had to be order and shipped. Previous review stated mattress is soft... well it sinks in the middle so be ready to cuddle or sleep on the sofa. Overall the location is great if you are on a budget apartment just needs some maintenance.
