This is a great location if you are up for taking public transportation. There are 2 bus lines that run right into Union Station where you can then hop on the Circulator bus that will take you all around the National Mall and to all the major monuments. This place is very nice and worked great for our family of four (kids where in a pull out sofa bed). Everything was very clean, the kitchen was great and the shower in the bathroom was amazing! Having a laundry right in the apartment was great since we were on the road for several weeks. The neighborhood is quiet and seemed very safe. There were a few places to eat within walking distance. One trip I would give...bring bug spray! I wasn't expecting mosquitoes in Oct! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would book again at this location in the future.
