Hello. Claudia’s English basement offers an excellent value for a highly sought-after location. It is a short walk to the metro, CVS, Safeway, Trader Joes, the Eastern Market, as well as numerous restaurants and coffee shops. It is about a one-mile walk to the Capital building and the National Mall.
Parking – Parking was my main concern when I was looking for a place on Capital Hill. Claudia has a parking pass for guests that allows for street parking. In the month that I stayed there, I never had difficulty finding a spot. I always parked within 100 meters of the basement entrance. Just remember to move your vehicle on street cleaning day – Claudia will make sure you know when it is.
The area is safe and secure. I was out walking or jogging almost every evening after dark and did not have any issues. I definitely recommend Claudia’s place if you are travelling to DC!
