This was a comfortable stay and a super convenient location, near public transportation and restaurants. Be sure to take the free trolly only a few blocks away to various great restaurants on H street and to Union Station. From Union Station, you can take the DC-Circulator bus to all the National Mall sites for $1. This stay is a great value for the price and the area -- clean, comfortable, and quiet. The bigger room is especially lovely, well lit and nicely furnished. We didn't meet the host, but we were comfortable and we had everything we needed!
