Mary is an excellent hostess. She is very knowledgeable about DC and the local area. The location is spot on for exploring. H street, which has free streetcar service to Union Station, has many small restaurants, and shops, a performing arts theater, and a Whole Foods.
My 12 year old a I had a guys trip to explore DC. The room does not have TV but the wifi let us watch a Netflix movie, the first night as we were worn out from traveling and just wanted to relax.
The kitchenette, by definition, is small but clean and serviceable. We were out all day each day but did use the space for breakfast and a desert or two.
I (we) would gladly stay again.
