Ashley's cozy basement unit is a great spot for visiting the NE DC area (without a car) and probably all of DC (with a car). The unit was clean and comfortable. I was able to easily catch lyft rides to get farther out of the city; but we also were able to walk to H-Street and (this was a little longer) to the Capitol. The metro was between a 15-20 minute walk away (depending on which metro stop you want to walk to).
