My family of 4 (includes a 6 year old and a 3 year old) had a fantastic time in DC, in many ways thanks to this great, centrally located home. The neighborhood is welcoming and beautiful with great food, Whole Foods, and the Foggy Bottom metro stop just a couple blocks away. There is a playground around the corner for kids to get energy out at. As for the house, it was ideal: well stocked, comfortable beds, lovely garden, and Diana is on top of it! Our only challenge was the skylight in the back bedroom that made it get very light early in the morning. We relied on public transit and travelled all over, visiting unique places our DC friends wanted us to see. No matter how hot a day got or how tired the kids were, we all seemed to perk up the moment we got off the foggy bottom metro stop and felt close to our lovely getaway in DC.
