Our family of five had a terrific experience. The first thing to know is that you could not be in a better location. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, trying a variety of wonderful restaurants. There is a local market at the end of the block that had specialty items and the basics. Rebecca and Richard have set the apartment up well for kids and adults. Our kids (11, 8 & 6) loved the games and toys left in the apartment and we loved the ease of having laundry and a parking spot. A great bike path and the metro are within a few minutes walk.
