We truly enjoyed our stay and liked walking around the neighborhood. The walk to the grocery stores (Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter) was easy and the local Red Bear brewery was a nice spot to cool off with a pint. 2 blocks away we found a local Indian and a Laotian restaurant. The Laotian spot had lovely outdoor and indoor dining and was very good. The metro is close by but we found street parking around DC to be fairly easy on the weekend/Labor Day holiday. The designated parking spot at Sheila’s is what drew us in and we appreciated that ease.
