Great place to stay if you want to explore Capitol Hill and the National Mall. Only a few blocks to the Metro and then the very next stop is Union Station right at the Capitol (or you could just walk a few more blocks and get there without the Metro). The place is very clean and comfortable, it's in a safe neighborhood allowing you to walk to the Capital, and Heather is a great host. She helps you figure out where things are at and how to get there. I'd definitely stay here again.
