We really enjoyed this place. It was very clean, nicely furnished, comfortable and quite cozy. It was a perfect "home away from home". Since we stayed in October, temperatures were not an issue, but I noticed ceiling fans that should help if the temps get warm. This end unit gets plenty of natural light and the high ceilings make the unit seem larger than it is. The location is great: a bus line is one block away and the Mount Vernon Square metro station is just over a half mile away with direct service to the Reagan Airport and connections to multiple other lines if you want to go exploring beyond the city. The National Mall is a straight 1.5 mile walk down the street, and many other attractions are within a 2 mile or less radius. The surrounding area offers multiple eateries and small stores, including a Whole Foods and a Starbucks 0.3 miles away. Although it experiences a good deal of nearby traffic, the unit itself is quiet and has a genuine neighborhood feel. The bed was very comfortable and firm enough to keep my back happy. Check in was very easy and the owner communicated in a timely and friendly basis beforehand making us feel welcome and sharing some tips about the neighborhood. As mentioned in another review, be aware that the only bathroom is accessed through one of the bedrooms. (Love the white fluffy towels!) My only concern was minor. We tried to contact the owner a few times through the VRBO app (our previous avenue for communication) about a couple of minor issues over our 5 day stay and only received one brief response that didn't really address my questions. In his defense, I did not try to call him directly. Overall, I would definitely recommend this unit for your DC adventure.
