My parents, my husband, and I really enjoyed staying in Luisa's Cozy Basement over the Marine Corp Marathon weekend. It was so convenient to the National Mall--I enjoyed some really nice runs in the neighborhood. Safeway, Starbucks, and the Metro Station were all within easy walking distance. The area was very safe, and Luisa and her husband were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The beds were very comfortable, and we were easily able to cook a full meal in the well-stocked kitchen.
