Perfect for our family of walkers! This rental made it easy for 3 generations to have a DC vacation together. We liked being in quiet city neighbourhood. (If you are used to the countryside the occasional cars and such might be a change for you, but compared to our home in Albany or the grandparents from NYC it was really quiet.)
It was wonderful to do daily shopping for dinner at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Union Market which are all just a few blocks away. I even got to make a pilgrimage to REI which was cool since I've been a member for 30 years and never been in a store before.
We walked into the Mall area to go to museums every day of our week long stay. We do long, 8-10 mile walking days, so it wasn't far at all for us-and also cool that a couple of us could easily use public transit to get back on evening when we were extra tired. We also used the 90 bus to get us really close to the baseball park one night and the stops where we got on and off near the house was only about a block away so that was super.
The host provided good information about checking in and out and tons of tips about the neighbourhood so it was like having a personal travel guide. Thanks for everything.
