This is an awesome basement apartment with much appreciated A/C, a super comfy bed and a fantastic taco place just around the corner (Far East Taco Grille). We walked, transited and took lyft or a taxi to the national mall multiple times - all very easy and enjoyable. The walk to the (free!) H street streetcar which takes you to Union Station was about 7-10 min, the walk to the closest metro stop (Stadium Armory) is about 15-20 minutes and the Lyft or Taxi rides to the mall area ranged from 6-10 dollars. Super nice place to stay, very much enjoyed it. My husband is quite tall (6'5") and was able to walk around comfortably with some strategic ducking now and then.
