The location/proximity to everything you need makes this the perfect place to stay! You are less than a mile walk to Union Station to be able to jump on the Metro and get anywhere you'd like to be. It is also less than a mile and 1/2 walk to the Capitol. I loved the neighborhood and felt totally safe there walking around with my elementary aged children. The Giant grocery store is just two blocks away so it is super easy to grab groceries. There are tons of great restaurants all within a very quick walk. The place is as described--kitchen has everything you need (minus a microwave) and having a washer and dryer is awesome. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!
