We had a nice few days sightseeing Washington from this place. It’s only a mile from the National Mall and is also very near the subway. Lots of great restaurants in the area is well. It was also quite hot while we were there, but the A/C was excellent and made the stay super comfortable. Please note that you do have to walk up a couple of sets of stairs to get to the unit, in case that’s an issue (it wasn’t for us).
