This place was so close to the subway. They provided metro passes so you could take them and just add cash value to them with cash or credit card right at subway station. Subway staff were also helpful in getting you pointed at right track and knowing right stop. The place was clean and the kitchen had extras, and you could cook meals if needed. Shops are close, a trader joes was a plus. Kelly was so helpful communicating right away, and also giving advice. Only 4 short stops from the Smithsonian subway stop on national mall. Good food of many kinds and budgets close to home also. Great place to stay.
