You definitely want to stay with Jeff and Loren. Less than a 5 min walk to the Metro, then just a few stops to the National Mall, the museums, the Capitol, etc. You can't beat the location on a quiet residential street in an historic district. The apartment was just lovely. New appliances, TV, everything was nice and freshly updated. And a great value, especially for a peak season like Cherry Blossom Festival and spring break. My son and I had a wonderful time.
