We stayed at this unit while visiting DC with our teens. Having traveled to this area for business, we purposely selected this area to stay for convenience and value. It is difficult to find secured parking without additional fees, so this unit was very appealing. This unit is located in a secure building with secure parking. It has lots of space for a family visiting the area, and is very close to the metro station. There is a lot of construction in the area, so Google didn't give great directions. I'd strongly recommend asking for directions from the manager as im sure traffic patterns will be changing until surrounding construction is complete. Once everything is built in the area this will be an even better place to stay with even more restaurants within walking distance. There are some currently, but most are across the parkway. We did not use the pool, but the pool area looked nice. This is an older building, but the unit has been updated. There is a balcony, but lots of road noise, and definitely not for kids. No sliding door to the balcony, so more difficult for little ones to access. Furnishings, kitchen gear, and decor are basic, but adequate. Extra linens were available. Everything was clean. The bedrooms both had ceiling fans and each room had its own hvac control. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
