Columbia Heights apartment
The apartment was clean, well organized, conveniently located for a short walk to the metro, and bus, grocery store and many restaurants and shopping. We were able to easily get around DC exploring the sights. We stayed for one week and were comfotable. Could have used a few throw blankets for when we watched tv in the evenings and a extra sheet. (One bed did not have a top sheet. ) Was quiet at night time and we were able to sleep well. This apartment worked well for our vacation.

Great location for a long weekend
My husband and I took my 84 year old dad to DC for his first trip to the city. The home was perfect for us with the two bedrooms, living area, and kitchen. The location was easy to get Lyfts to and from for my dad, along with being close to public transportation. We also were within walking distance to a grocery store, drug store, coffee and restaurants. I would recommend this for your next stay.

Comfortable and convenient
Apartment was very clean and comfortable with good wifi. Nice location, residential area but a block from all stores and conveniences and a Metro stop. Kitchen was equipped well enough for us to dine in twice. I would recommend it.
