Location of this little gem was key for us. We walked to EasternMarket, capital and restaurants. Alison was very helpful in accommodating and directing us. Easy walk to metro. We felt very safe here. I believe we saved a lot of money with the parking pass Alison provided, basic supplies provided and having the kitchen. It was hot when we visited so we enjoyed biking each night as the sun set and the traffic was lighter. Great way to see the monuments.
