Overall, the place was close to memorials and monuments. Close proximity to dining and venues, although it takes longer than expected via car due to traffic.
As for Jason's place. It was an upstairs rental. It is not a 'penthouse' per say. There is no stove. We had to ask twice for toilet paper. There are window ACs but it still gets rather warm at night. Rental says strict no smoking policy but the last night of our stay someone was definitely smoking weed downstairs.
Its easy to find things wrong with stays but it was close/convenient to places and for the price, about what was expected for DC.
