We loved the location of this apartment. It worked well for our family of 4. The only challenge was that you could hear the upstairs neighbors footsteps. This was not a huge issue and the owner's assistant was helpful in offering to communicate concerns with the upstairs renter, if necessary. The apartment comes with white noise machines which were helpful. If you are a super light sleeper and happen to have upstairs neighbors who keep different hours than you do, this could be a problem, bring ear plugs, just in case. Otherwise, this apartment was perfect for seeing the sites in DC and makes for a good and comfortable home base.
