Our family of 4 had an amazing stay in Washington DC over the 4th of July weekend. Our primary objective was to tour the nearby college campuses. We visited GWU, Georgetown, and AU. The Foggy Bottom location was perfect for this purpose. We were 2 blocks away from the Foggy Bottom Metro station, and it was easy walking/biking to the National Mall, Smithsonian museums, White House, Capitol Hill, and Kennedy Center. In fact, we watched the fireworks from the Reach at the Kennedy Center - a perfect view and a very short walk from the house.
I really liked that there were several Capital Bike Share stations close by. I also liked the location for its proximity to grocery stores and restaurants. We shopped at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods and cooked simple meals at home for breakfast and dinner, which was a nice change after staying in hotels for the past two weeks. In addition to cooking, being able to do laundry was a worth the stay! The evenings are quiet in this neighborhood, which were great for falling asleep after a long day of sightseeing.
Elliott clearly communicated everything and was a great host! I would definitely return to his house next time I visit DC!
