Nice and clean but very small
The couch in the living room is terrible. It's very uncomfortable and so are the chairs for the dining table so there was really no good place to sit and watch television in this very small and cozy space. It's nicely updated but really only comfortable for two people.

DC vacation
My husband and I spent four nights at this property in late April 2025. Cozy apartment was a good size for two people, and the apartment has been recently remodeled. The kitchen includes a stove, microwave, sink, dishwasher, K-cup coffeemaker, full-size fridge, and stacked washer/dryer. Plenty of dishes, cookware, silverware, and paper towels. The bathroom has a nice-size shower. The bedroom is a bit cramped but has a good closet with plenty of nice wood hangers. Large smart TVs in the bedroom and in the living area. My only complaint is the couch in the living area was sooo uncomfortable. One night we tried to sit there and watch a movie, but we moved to the tv in the bedroom instead. The location is about a 10-minute walk to the Mount Vernon Square metro station. If you want to walk to the National Mall, it’s only about a 30-minute stroll from the apartment. There is a Giant grocery store a couple blocks away. We enjoyed our stay!
Stayed to attend a conference at the convention center .4 miles / 15-min walk away. Easy access to restaurants two blocks away and Giant supermarket on 7th street.
Would stay again in the future for a non-work related visit.

Lovely and well stocked!
This is a lovely and quiet place to stay in DC! The location is ideal if you are attending a conference - it's around a 10-minute walk from the convention center. There's a grocery store three blocks away as well! We biked to the National Mall every day and used the city's CaBi bikes (the check-out station was right outside of the grocery store). The bed was extremely comfortable and the place was fully stocked with kitchen appliances, towels, etc.
Of note:
- This would be a pretty cramped space for four people. I definitely recommend it for two or three.
- The dining table and chairs are pretty uncomfortable for work. If you need a work-from-home setup, this might not be ideal
- This property is centrally located but the area itself feels more residential
Thanks for a great stay!
