It's a "basement" apartment but it has windows and feels light and spacious. It is easy to use the code box to lock and unlock the front door. We parked on the street but had to go around the corner to find a spot. After that, we walked everywhere, to the monuments and museums and to a restaurant on H street. It is a quiet neighborhood of well-kept residences. We heard the footsteps of the family upstairs but it was not intrusive. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is large and super clean, the kitchen has everything you need. Everything is so clean it looks like new. It is a beautiful, cozy place to come home to after a busy day of exploring DC. Highly recommended!
