We needed a place to stay after a wedding that gave us quick access to the National Harbor area without paying outrageous prices (the suggested hotel was $175 a night, no thanks!) so we booked Aric's place. It was a very quick Uber ride downtown and there were lots of Ubers around when we wanted one. There's a great little bakery that we stopped at before checking in called Open Crumb that had cheap but delicious (and vegetarian friendly) options that I'd recommend! Aric had lots of info about the area available, which we didn't end up needing but it was a nice touch.
