The apartment (living room, dining area, work nook, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom) was perfect for a single business traveler and I suspect it works well for a small family or couple on holiday. Owner's detailed instructions were very helpful. The residential area of the house is close to some restaurants, stores/shops, Metro stops and major streets--transportation time or availability was not an issue at all. The media/television screen, for those who would use it (I didn't much) was easy to use, and it had a library of DVD's that can be useful. (I miss having the main PBS channel on the common channel lineup, but I have access to that channel by computer, and that is not a comment on this apartment in particular. I'd certainly rent the place again when traveling to central DC.
