The pictures are accurate but if you haven't been to D.C. It can be a real surprise what nice quiet neighborhood Capitol Hill can be in the right place. The converted basement is very comfortable for 1 or 2, with a queen bed, sofa, tv, bath with shower, kitchenette, table and two good chairs and a couple of folding chairs. The locations as everyone says is excellent, only 4 blocks to the Capitol or the Supreme Court, a few over to Union Station in the north, and a few from Pennsylvania Avenue where there are numerous restaurants and cafes. We tried Sonoma which was very good, with fast service. Edith was very conscientious about a noise issue we had with the neighbors construction, though there was nothing she could do. If we come back to DC we will hopefully stay here again!
