Location, Location, Location!!!

Cute, small studio apartment two blocks from the Library of Congress, so walking distance to all main sites in DC. Trader Joes, Eastern Market, restaurants, and metro stations all within 1/2-mile walk. Neighborhood felt very safe, even at night. Studio is well equipped w/everything needed to cook meals. Peter had eggs, milk, cereal, snacks, and various spices stocked too so check in first before heading to the store. Blinds and shades do not provide total coverage from the outside lights at night and the fridge has a continuous light on the water dispenser. If kids are staying upstairs, the running around can be heard above you. None of these bothered us but was just an observation. Peter was prompt with messaging and checking in with our stay. A perfect place for two - we highly recommend this apartment and will stay here again when we return to DC.
