It was described pretty accurately, I would say the "walking distance" is definitely do able, but if you are trying to do a lot down by the White House or the National Monument or the National Mall the walking might be pushing it. But it was very easy to get to with our car and using Uber is a great idea! Think it was only like $6 so get back to the apt. The apt. was just as it looks in the pictures and clean and had everything we would need.
