The apartment is in a "happening" area of DC and close to metro. If you want to go out and enjoy some night life just step out of the front door. If you want to sleep at 10pm on a Friday, while the windows are good tight and relatively sound proof you will still need ear plugs or just stay up a bit later until the street life quiets down. There's a little low level drug taking going on on the street, but nothing that concerned us. The apartment has floor to ceiling windows and is on a higher floor (maybe 5) so there's a nice view of the street below with Howard theater and a small AstroTurf area with seating - looks like an outdoor party area.
The apartment is modern, clean, this applies to the whole building as well as the apartment. It probably looks a little bigger in the photos, but it is a good size. Two private bathrooms too. It is a full time AirBnB place, it has a slightly sparse feel - no clutter or knicknaks about.
Front desk staff are very welcoming.
Make sure you have your virtual key or the backup code before setting off. Write down the backup code incase your phone is out of battery for access to the building.
Would be happy to stay again.
