I thought this woud be ideal accomodation for a seven-day trip to use the Library of Congress -- and it was: exactly as I'd hoped and expected. The cabin is very considerately fitted out with all essentials, plus lovely touches such as provision of an umbrella and bicyle helmet (so you can use one of the bike rental schemes, though as it happens I did not). The hosts are very responsive if you ask anything of them but will leave you to yourself if you prefer. There are lovely 20-30 minute walks through Capital Hill into the centre of town; you're also not far from e.g. Union Station if you want to catch the Metro to travel further afield. And there are lots of restaurants on H street close by. This place is ideal if you are on your own, like walking, and want privacy without feeling cut off.
