A few colleagues and I stayed at Scott's place for a conference at the Walter E. Washington convention center. Although it is walkable from Scott's house, we took the metro, which was literally right around the corner. The house is four blocks away from the grocery store and one block away from nice restaurants. The house itself had everything that we needed, beds and couch were comfortable. Scott has the sweetest neighbors. Everyone in the neighborhood was friendly, always willing to say hi and chat.
