Excellent Accommodations
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009

The condo was as described. It was spotless, spacious, and well stocked. We were very comfortable there.
The location was great for sightseeing. We used the Federal Center SW metro stop most of the time, and the Waterfront stop was also accessible. We used the Shuttlebug neighborhood shuttle once as well (from Waterfront metro to the condo), which was very nice after a long day of sightseeing. We walked to the Air and Space museum which is just 4-5 blocks away.
In the immediate area, other than the Safeway and CVS, there was a Potbelly near the Federal Center Metro, as well as a Starbucks and another sandwich shop. There's a Marriott Residence Inn at E and 3rd that has a gift shop where you can get snacks as well as beer and wine. We had dinner at Cantina Marina on the waterfront. The location was nice, but the food was pretty lousy. I'd recommend it for drinks but eat somewhere else. We went farther afield for most meals. I'd recommend Founding Farmers for a nicer meal.
As far as attractions, you can get pretty much anywhere using the Metro. We never needed a car.
If I ever go back to DC for an extended stay, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
