Everything was just as I expected it to be and the ease of check-in/out made it feel like it was home for us as well. It's a great family-friendly neighborhood, safe for strolling and exploring the city. Seems far distance-wise from the monuments and museums, but my girls and I found that the walk from Jacqueline's place to the National Mall wasn't bad because there are many shops, restaurants and coffee spots to check out along the way.
