Excellent communication with Eric and helpful hints for the area. The location was great, walking distance to capitol and only mile to Smithsonian, but if this was too far, buses readily available. Train stations close by, about a 15 minute walk. Didn't use lyft but saw alot of people doing this. Apartment was great. We slept in bedroom, very comfortable. Kids and sister in law slept in living room. Futon and a futon like couch not especially comfortable but worked fine for them.
