Linda's place was very clean and a relatively newly remodeled/built house. The upstairs entertainment area with a tv, coffee maker, mini fridge and deck was a plus when we came back from our long days of touring DC.
The Navy Yard area is up and coming, quiet and seemed to be mostly young families. There is a nice strip of restaurants/bars nearby, but still up and coming so not a ton of options yet. The metro is a short walk away, but walking to the national mall would be quite a trek, especially in the cold weather and snow we had while there.
Linda was always quick to respond to our questions! Thank you Linda!
