We stayed here for two nights, but given everything Washington DC has to see you should certainly stay longer. Claire's home is large enough for a group, including your 4-pawed best friends. My pup isn't used to apartment style living, so the slight noise from above made him bark (although hopefully not too much!) The kitchen has everything you need, it was easy to check in with the lockbox and the AC kept it cool in hot summer heat. The parking spot was a huge added bonus, we didn't drive the whole time we were in town. This is a great spot for your DC trip. We walked from here through the National Mall, along the water towards the National's Stadium (and found an awesome rooftop bar which we watched the game from) and all the way back-all with the dogs!
