METRO 2 BLOCKS - COZY & SPACIOUS - MANY AMENITIES

We enjoyed our stay in DC. Rachael was VERY helpful and the apartment was very quiet, which was important. There were some items that could be negatives to others staying at the apartment. First, the area around the Georgia Ave metro is pretty junky. We felt fairly safe, but saw some things that can't be mentioned in this review. Also the Safeway that we were planning on using is no longer open. You will have to go to a health food market or take a pretty long walk for groceries. The walk to the grocery store isn't bad, but I recommend taking a cab back if you have very much to carry. The entrance is down an alley. Alleys are often fairly junky, and this was also. The entry is on ground level, but the apartment could be described as a "garden level" apartment. This wasn't an issue for us as there is plenty of light. However, the ceiling height is pretty low. Anyone 6' tall or over will have to duck under heating ducts and also the door jam entering the bedroom. The bath is very small and larger individuals might not be too comfortable using the bath and shower. The apartment worked fine for our needs and the metro made it easy to access all the tourist stuff we did. I just thought larger individuals might need to know of the ceiling and small bath issues.

This apartment was pretty much exactly what we were expecting. It was clean, spacious (for the two of us), and had easy Metro access. The bathroom was very small so I would not recommend it for groups over 2-4. The ad had mentioned it had DVD player which was not there, but we weren't in DC to watch TV anyway. The bed was comfortable, Rachel was VERY helpful, and there were pamphlets and DC info at the apartment. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, comfortable place to stay while in DC I would recommend this palce!
FYI The owner did mention that the neighborhood was up and coming so I don't know if I would stay here by myself or at least walk to and from the Metro at night. I never felt scared there but better safe than sorry.

Our family stayed in this unit for one week and it quickly because home away from home. The den was a perfect bedroom for our son and the master bedroom was exactly the sanctuary my husband and I needed.

We were able to walk to the subway in 5 minutes and it was a perfectly safe area. I had no hesitation having my husband walk to the grocery store on the way home from the subway while my son and I walked home.

The owners live right upstairs so it was very nice to know that if any problems had come up (which did not) they were close by.

We loved having the kitchen so that we could make breakfast in the morning before heading out on our adventures. A washer dryer was great as it allowed us to travel with carry on luggage only!

Thank you for a great home for our vacation. We will be back!
