The house itself truly is nice and updated. The sunroom was amazing and I'm sure the screened in porch would be nice if it wasn't 100 degrees! :) It was a cozy house that had just what we needed.
The walk to the Metro is more like 15-20 minutes and downhill getting there, then uphill after you have been walkling all day all over town. Uber is fairly cheap and probably worth it.
My biggest concern was with Great Dwellings, the rental company. They were not customer friendly and caused me a great amount of frustration, from unprofessionalism to lack of response to my questions. Since this is a "pay the whole amount up front" place, just make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you commit.
