If you plan to be on the National Mall, this is where you want to stay! Ask for the guest parking pass when you confirm your stay here, and leave your car parked. Short walking distance to the Capitol and most of the Smithsonian Museums. We used the electric scooters to cruise the mall area and used Uber to visit restaurants farther out. Aaron was a great host and provided lots of extra touches. We lived like locals for a couple of days in this very cute townhouse, and that does mean 6am trains on weekdays, but this is a great place to stay!
