This is a charming place that is close to many restaurants and walking trails. Although the stairs are steep going up to the 3rd level and it is not completely closed off from the 2nd floor, it felt private. I really enjoyed this apartment and highly recommend it! It is in a wonderful location on Calvert Street just into Mont Pleasant. The deck area makes you feel like you are a part of the community and gives you a view of a park in the quiet DC neighborhood. There is an international collection of art and a myriad of books to read.
