Linden was a wonderful host, and helped make our visit to DC much less stressful. The room was cozy, and had coffee, a great book selection, and other helpful amenities. There's a Capital Bikeshare a minute's walk away, and the ride to/from the Mall was only about 20 minutes. There are kids that patter around upstairs, but we didn't mind that at all, and we were left to ourselves to come and go as we pleased in our private entrance. Highly recommended!
