The apartment suited our needs - clean, plenty of towels, hot water and water pressure great, kitchen stocked with the right utensils, good sized bedroom and living/dining area. Washer/dryer works well. We would definitely stay there again if we return to Ballston. The hotel is in a great location for access to 2 metro stops - only 3-4 blocks walk. There are LOTS of restaurants within a short walk, also a grocery, pharmacy, pretty much everything you need.
