This apartment was great for what we needed, but it did have some drawbacks. It is a bit removed from the heart of everything, however, it is super close to the metro. We found that to be very convenient and helpful. It's also a ground floor apartment on a BUSY street corner. It was very noisy all night long and the shades need to be closed, making it dark. Communication with the host was not super great, but I think that was more of a VRBO issue than the host not being responsive. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable and spotless, with everything we needed, so all in all, we were happy with our choice.
