Marguerite's basement apartment was in a perfect setting! A few minutes walk to the Capitol and also to Pennsylvania Avenue with lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops. We recommend We the Pizza and TraderJoes! It was a bit cosy for our family of five (three teens and young adults), but since we spent very little time there, the positives outweighed any inconvenience. Top marks for location, free parking, and memory foam mattress on the Queen bed. Occasional use single beds not quite as comfy!
