This worked out perfect for the three of us (two adults, 16 year old son). The place was very clean, and very well appointed. There were whole coffee beans with a grinder to make a fresh pot every morning. The bed and linens were better than many hotels. We slept incredibly well for not being at home. The location is very centralized as we walked to the Capitol building and many of the other main attractions. Union Station was a short two blocks away which made it easy to catch the Metro as well as the E-circulator (a bus that goes around the National Mall and cost $1 per person per trip). In the neighborhood are some good little coffee shops and breakfast places as well as great dinner places all with in a couple blocks. One block away is a grocery store and three blocks away there was a Whole Foods. This made it easy to grab some snacks and breakfast items to have for our stay. Betsy was very quick with responses, and her suggestions for transportation and restaurants were spot on. We started planning our next trip because we had such a great experience here.
