Carmen's place is really comfortable and we felt right at home with all the charm the building and neighborhood have to offer. The kitchen was fully setup for everything we needed to cook morning meals before exploring the town. The location is excellent. We took car shares around town and it's ~10-15 min max to the National Mall in the worst morning traffic. We also had a nice afternoon walking to Georgetown. Also, if you're traveling by car, we found garages a few blocks away which offered cheap day rates. The street parking is a bit rare and is only available for 2hrs during the day. Hope to be back soon!
