It was pretty clean. A few scuff marks on the wall close to the window. Beds were comfortable. Shower was really nice. Only thing missing was a refrigerator.

Very clean and safe apartment. If I knew it was this secluded, I may have chosen an actual Hotel instead of this situation, but it was a beautiful place, great pricing, very close to the National Mall.
