Standard Oakwood kit, with the basics to make a kitchen useful and functional. A kettle, either electric or stove-top, would be nice. Plenty of towels, sheets, and pillows. Enough crockery and glassware for six.

Proximity to grocery store(s)
Very Satisfied
Please list the grocery stores near your building.
A small, but fairly well-stocked Safeway is only a couple of minutes walk away. A quick bus ride back up Clarendon Blvd will drop you off at Whole Foods, and maybe other stores, although I didn't pay much attention, to be honest. It's possible that across the river in Georgetown, another fairly quick bus ride, there are more good grocery stores.

If you have stayed in this particular housing before, was this a deciding factor for you to return and why?
I've stayed at this Oakwood before, when sent back on Medevac. We usually stay in Falls Church as a family. It's a great location, and with the kids being much older now, I knew they would be okay without a playground or kids activities. I wouldn't recommend this location if you have youngsters, or if you need access to a business centre. It's the one failing at this Oakwood, the lack of a printer for resident's to use.
