We spent a cold, wet & windy weekend in Washington due to Hurricane Joaquin but Ethel made sure our stay was good, she was very friendly and welcomed us to make ourselves at home. Ethel's place is a 5 min walk to the subway, which is 20 mins to the National Mall & Museums. Its a 10 min walk to some great bars & restaurants on Barracks row and Eastern Market. A large Safeway grocery store is 5 mins walk. Union Station is 20 mins on the bus. A convenient place to stay in Washington.
