Much of the furnishings and appliances looked nearly brand new and the unit was very clean and tidy. Very well decorated as well. It has all the kitchen utensils you'd need to do some light cooking during your stay, and the washer/dryer combo is great for doing small loads. There is a Mexican grocery store just a few blocks away that is great for essentials (and has an impressive meat counter). If you'd rather eat great Mexican food rather than make it yourself check out the restaurants on East Lake Street, about an 7min walk. The only downside is that the home isn't particularly close to the metro line, and the closest shared bike rack is about a 15min walk. There are quite a few bus stops nearby though, and on-street parking isn't an issue.
