The place is as described and we couldn't be happier. The Metro rail system is a three minute walk and we used it extensively. There is NO NEED for a car while visiting D.C. while staying here. We took the Metro from the airport.
The Harris Teeter grocery store is just beyond the Metro station and is a great store - wonderful food bar and they serve complete dinners. The Capital Bikeshare red bikes are between the Metro and the grocery store and are also a great way around D.C. The architecture of the homes in this neighborhood is wonderful. Highly recommend THIS airbnb.
