Heather and Vasa's place is very conveniently located to The Mall and surrounds. It's about 25 minutes on foot to the Capitol, 15 minutes or so walk to Union Station, so it's a great central spot but at the same time it is quiet. We were warm and very comfortable in our room - Heather and Vasa are very kind hosts and made us very welcome. The bedroom, bathroom and, indeed, the whole house were spotless; the bed was very comfortable, with quality linens. The home is a lovely old building with all mod cons in a charming, peaceful and safe street. Good restaurants are found in neighbourhoods not too far away, such as Adams Morgon, which are accessible from the subway which is at most a ten-minute walk away; Chinatown is quite close to home and has some nice spots. We also found taxis cheap and easy to hail on the spot. We highly recommend Heather and Vasa's place when visiting DC!
