We really enjoyed our stay in this property. It's only 5 min walk (less if you ignore the lights), from the Metro station. It's situated in a posh/student but upmarket suburb which is very nice. There are tress all around the neighborhood, Spanish embassy is a block away, Trader Joe's a couple of blocks, there is CVS and Walgreens also close to the small Watergate shopping area which has a proper supermarket (I can't recall the name).
The staff at this property are first class, they are attentive, helpful and polite. Upon seeing that we didn't have an umbrella and it was raining pretty hard outside one of the staff got us an umbrella. No wonder the property is always full of people coming and going, they are all happy repeat customers.
We were upgraded to a room with kitchen, separate bedroom (with its own flat screen TV and A/C) and fold-out bed at the living room. Kitchen was quite well stocked, I loved being able to ground the coffee beans, proper coffee after a long time! While the room itself is big, bathroom is quite small. But since we didn't spend a lot of time at the bathroom, it wasn't a problem for us. There was laundry facility at the basement although the dryer might need a bit looking into since it couldn't dry clothes properly. There is also a small gym at the ground floor which has more than two treadmills.
We did get the occasional sirens, but with the hospital across the roundabout, what can you expect, at least the neighborhood wasn't full of drunk and loud homeless people.
