The house is one of a small row of older houses in a street just behind the Convention Center. The area is being taken over by new construction, but this small block still has a feel of older Washington. Location is great -- an easy walk to the Metro Yellow Line which goes straight to Washington National Airport. We also regularly walked Downtown, to the Mall, to Dupont Circle and even to The Kennedy Center. The house itself has a nice feel, with plenty of room (we were on the ground floor - don't know what the other floors were like). The kitchen is good and functional, though there was a strange shortage of spoons. Having a laundry (no charge) in the building was a bonus. Two of the beds were sofa beds that have seen better days. Sensitive sleepers would have been uncomfortable, though we were OK (being insensitive). The internet was a bit patchy but basically OK.
