Marguerite's English basement was the perfect accommodation for our family of five. We arrived in the early evening on Friday after a very long drive and found the house easily with stress free arrival instructions and off street parking. The apartment was the perfect size for three young kids and two adults and exactly as described. We brought some food with us and were able to quickly feed the kids and head out to explore before the sun set. We hit the park with a great toddler climber half a block away and then headed for an easy walk to the Supreme Court and Capital building. The next day we walked to the Spy Museum and around the mall, all the way back to Eastern Market to buy fresh vegetables and bread for dinner and back to the comfortable rooms for a rest from the heat before another trip to a museum (extended hours!) before bed. The offstreet parking took the stress out of driving to the sites with tired legs from the day. All in all, the whole building was beautiful and convenient with a lovely energy. We met Marguerite and some of her family on the third day and felt welcomed (yet independent) by them all. I will recommend this space to anyone looking to enjoy Capital Hill and/or the museums and monuments...especially with younger kids (or those lucky enough to be on an adult vacation)!
