Great affordable place with walking distance from National Mall and Union Station (which has the Metro!)
I did not calculate how much actual walking I would do in the Mall itself, but there’s Lime scooters everywhere, so take advantage of that!
Irik was great to have as a resource to the area. Also he was good at conversing and respecting space. I felt totally comfortable staying by myself.
He is also just down the block from a place called Busboys and Poets, which you should totally check out while you’re in the area! :)
