Came with 3 kids and loved the whole experience. Dick met us as we arrived and we got street parking right outside the door. Used public transport for everything and discovered the convenient bus stop right across the street. Neighborhood was both safe and charming and still close to the main sights. Little touches everywhere in apartment give very homey feel. Metro cards were fabulous as was the ability to do a load of laundry. Only thing we missed was more time as DC is really filled with soooo much to see! Hope to return one day...
