This basement unit is a 2 block walk from a Whole Foods with easy neighborhood parking. The location feels safe and is a walkable distance to all the downtown DC attractions. With younger kids, we Uber’ed to get to the White House/Mall area - it took ~20 minutes during rush hour.
The unit has been designed with kids in mind: it is loaded with coloring books and games. The kitchen is equipped with basics - it would have been tough cooking a simple meal, but we had what we needed for carryout.
Of note: it had rained a lot when we were there. The house’s sump pump is in the queen bedroom. It was noisy and running near constantly. Probably because of the rain (and yes, DC is a swamp), we had a hard time with mosquitoes and no see ums entering the unit and attacking us. They swarm the entrance and follow you inside.
Jaime is a responsive host. She had guides, suggestions for places to go/eat and metro passes at the ready.
