This place was great for a family visit to DC. The unit is clean, spacious, and well-equipped. It's a two minute walk to the Metro and with two lines serving the Shaw station the recent Metro service issues didn't present a problem. Street parking was easy and free, and the host helped with a parking permit. As noted in other reviews, it is a third floor walk up unit, but the stairs are well lit and well maintained. I highly recommend this place.
