Owner Kathleen welcomed us and quickly got us settled into a private room with everything needed to use as your base for exploring DC. The room has a full wall of windows so it feels open, but room-darkening shades for sleeping. Only 3-4 blocks to the capital, supreme court, dining, transit, etc. We walked all day and everywhere on the mall during our 6 night stay, but Uber was very fast, cheap and easy.
We really enjoyed chatting with our host who is very knowledgeable about all aspects of DC. She makes a good balance between being helpful but not intruding if you want to be alone. The room is private and quiet. We plan to stay here for another week next year...DC is fascinating!
