We loved staying at Brian's place! The location was amazing, and not being from DC we didn't realize just how crucial the off-street parking provided was. It was so nice to know we always had a spot to park when we got back from trips. The neighborhood is super cute with tons of dog-walkers and stroller pushers. People were out running by themselves all the time, which means it's a safe area. The distance to the Capitol building and then the mall is incredible. Definitely walkable and bikeable to those attractions. We truly loved staying here and would do it again.
