Our family of 4 had a nice visit to DC and stayed in Julie's apartment. It was convenient to walk the 2 blocks to the Shaw Metro stop and 1 block to a bus stop on 11th Street, both which took us to downtown DC and all the museums. Restaurants and grocery are a little bit further away, about 4-5 blocks. Check in was easy with a lockbox for the key, and Julie was very flexible with the check in and check out time. We ended up texting with Julie and communication with her was prompt. We met her once as she lives in the unit upstairs. Basic amenities were all available, but we were left wishing there were a few more, like a few more kitchen utensils and pots. The apartment is clearly very new, and still awaiting some upgrades, but it worked out very well for our needs.
