Location, location, location!
Great location…not just to the Capitol building, Library of Congress and Supreme Court… (all within 15 minute walk)…
but also the Eastern Market Metro stop, coffee shops, a bakery/sandwich place , multiple restaurants and bars, a Trader Joe’s grocery and a Chase Bank…all within a 5 minute walk. We didn’t need a car rental for the entire 7 days we were there.
My wife and I stayed here with our three children (11, 13 and 17) and sleeping arrangements worked fine. My wife and I stayed in the bedroom while the kids were on the futon couch and the inflatable mattress provided by the owners (along with provided bedding/blankets) in the main room.
We had a great trip.
