This is a beautiful place with access to Metro downstairs. There are grocery stores downstairs if you are not into eating out everyday. We stayed with 2 kids 18 mo and 5 yr. The train to airport is a block or 2 away we walked to the train station for taxi, taxi may not always be available at the taxi stand by the building. Walk to train station for airport 5 min without luggage, 10 min with luggage.
