Travis's place has an outstanding location. A lot of hosts claim good location -- this place sets the standard. The proximity to the Capitol grounds -- 2 1/2 blocks -- and to the Capitol South metro station -- whose elevator is literally not quite halfway around the block and across the street -- is a tremendous thing. Bring good shoes, you don't need a car. The location in the picturesque and distinguished Capitol Hill neighborhood is equally good. Walk around this neighborhood just after sun up -- it is leafy, and full of avian creatures. You can hear the city flowing around the neighborhood, but this place is a residential island under stately old trees -- birds chirping, green leaves, and neighbors out strolling on the 19th century brick.
We visited in the hottest, stickiest days of summer. The unit, which is on the ground floor, was always cool, and with the small kitchen, it was easy to sleep. My teenage sons loved it. The close proximity to the metro and the kitchen gave them some extra freedom. The unit has a seemingly endless supply of towels and bed linens, and also has a nice, quiet, LG washer-dryer unit.
