The apartment was very clean, with comfortable furniture, good heating & a/c unit and even a complimentary bottle of wine. U Street has a lot to offer in terms of convenience stores (Rite Aid & CVS) groceries (Trader Joe's & Whole Foods) fast food (McDonald's) and a variety of local dining and bars within walking distance. As for getting other parts, this location is close to one of Metro stations and when my gf and I took an Uber from union station to the apt or when we used one from the apt to the Smithsonian both rides each were under $10. Overall this was a great location and I would definitely stay again!
