This place is incredible for visiting DC. The Potomac Metro station (The Washington DC subway system) is only a 5 minute walk away. From there we could take a short trip, and get off at any number of stations and see all the popular sights. So much easier that trying to drive and find parking.
Halfway to the Metro station is The Roost. It is literally a 2 minute walk. The Roost is a new concept food hall. You sit at a table and use your phone to order from any of the restaurants. Something fun to check out when we weren't up for cooking.
Monae is a wonderful host who was so very helpful with recommendations. I would definitely stay at her place again.
