This is a solid economic choice. Parking spot for free was huge. Being in DC there is going to be much walking. I thought we’d be able to walk from the apartment one day, but it was much to far to the capital building and the the rest of the mall was even farther. So we used the metro regularly. Still a 10 minute walk from the apartment to the metro stations. Doesn’t seem like much but after a long day of walking it’s a bit of a haul still. We spent $25 a piece on the metro over 3 days. Strongly recommend this apartment for 1-2 looking to stay under a budget. In our 3 days in DC we spent 5-6 hundred total with food, apartment and transportation. Hope this helps.
