This place was really an excellent find. Bloomingdale is only a 10 minute drive to the National Mall (about $9-10 if you Uber it, which I highly recommend, easier than taking the Metro and having to deal with parking). Paul and his husband did an excellent job restoring the place, and the garden outside was gorgeous. Paul provided a map of the neighborhood which had tons of restaurants and bars only a block away, and even a neighborhood park that was really cool. Such a great find. We ate at Boundary Stone for dinner and drinks, and Big Bear Cafe (definitely recommended) in the morning for coffee and breakfast. Had a great stay.
