I had a great stay at Sarah's place. Location was perfect for visiting National Mall and super easy access to Amtrak & metro/buses. Vert clean and comfy place. Something beyond Sarah's control was the room temperature which seemed to be set by the building. It was too warm for me. As a matter of fact, AC was on when I checked in. And this was in December.
The neighborhood doesn't have many restaurants, but West Wing Cafe around the corner was a perfect place for sandwiches and breakfast sandwich. (not open on the weekend.) There's no grocery stores in this area either, so it's better to plan your dinner before coming back for the night. Overall, I enjoyed staying at Sarah's place very much. I would definitely stay here again!
