This is a really great location - close to lots of public transportation including bus lines which we took because the Metro was on reduced service. There is a Safeway and a Whole Foods near by, also a couple drug stores, and tons of restaurants so we could get anything we needed. Very easy to get to The Mall, airport, and other place. Other options in this area are more expensive so it was a good value. This is a basement flat with low ceilings - be aware if you are over about 6'2" tall! The heating isn't controlled in the flat - it blows strongly through the vents even when they're closed and is kind of noisy, but it's like background white noise. We didn't use the washer/dryer but appreciated it being there if we needed it.
