Property was nice and located near a metro station but was out of the way for most things. We did not find it to be a good value for the money. The bed was extremely creaky, you could not control the temperature yourself, and although the listing states parking is extra- 10/day seems a little much for the cost. We felt it should all be included.

DC Heat Wave

This one bedroom apartment had everything we needed. We were in DC during a heat wave, and it was wonderfully cool in this basement apartment. Its close to restaurants, metro, and Rock Creek Park. Our favorite restaurants were Bread Furst and The Little Blackbird. Most importantly, the bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet.
