Julian’s place was ideal to visit all the the national mall and the museums. It was about a 15 minute drive to national mall, 15 minute drive to Georgetown and about 30 minutes to mount Vernon. It is a bit cooler considering it is a basement, they were able to give us a space heater but it wasn’t enough to keep me as warm as I would have liked BUT I survived and my body type is the kind that gets colder so much quicker. Keep in mind I went during January as well so it was winter!! The private entrance was great as well!! And if anyone is renting a car the parking is in the back of the house and space is tight, do not get a huge car there are tight corners and spaces. I rented a SUV and I was able to make it in but I don’t suggest anything bigger. Overall I enjoyed my stay!! Would stay again for sure if I ever decide to visit D.C again :)) Again, location is ideal for tourist!!
