If you are going to DC for vacation and looking to explore the all the national monuments and museums, the location of this airBnB is amazing. You will be near the middle section of the National Mall so it is easy to decide the morning of where you want to visit without having to plan a long hike. It is also in between two metro stops (Archives and Gallery Chinatown). Bathroom is luxurious in size and finish. Unit faces courtyard which provides a nice quiet reprieve after a long day of touring. The kitchen is convenient as well if you want to stay in and cook simple meals. However, there closest real grocery store we found was Trader Joes which was on the other side of the Capitol building. There is a CVS at the bottom of the building too for the essentials and Walgreens in Chinatown with a bit more. Richard was very accommodating and let us check in early and check out late which made travelling with a 5 month old less stressful/tiring. He was also very communicative during our stay by checking up via text to see if we needed anything or had any questions. All in all a great airBnB stay!
