We really enjoyed our time staying at Kelly's place! Bloomingdale was a calm and safe neighborhood that was very close to many of the other popular DC neighborhoods. This was a very walkable area with fairly good access to public transportation, but we might consider renting a car in the future to limit some of our Uber / Lyft rides and reduce waiting time for public transportation. Most grocery stores (Whole Foods, Giant) were about 1.0 mile away so that is something to keep in mind if you plan to do a lot of cooking. Overall, Kelly was a great host and very responsive to all of our needs. She was also very accommodating with her available dates when we were trying to squeeze in a month-long stay. We really enjoyed our time in DC and can't wait to be back soon!
