We were in DC for a conference and loved having a comfortable quiet retreat on a pretty street to decompress. A short walk to a few restaurants and shops. (Right Proper Brewing Company had decent basic fare, interesting beer, and friendly staff). About a 25 minute walk to Dupont Circle. We enjoyed the 25 minute walk to Capital Hilton at 16th and L. Metro stop is right around the corner if the weather isn't friendly or you don't like to walk. Trader Joe's is about a 10 minute walk.
