This is a great place to stay whether it would be a short or long trip. No need for a car if you don’t want to drive - public transit is easy and close by. You can talk a quick walk to DuPont Circle to browse shops (I highly recommend the local bookstores) and eat good food. Then of course Capital Hill is a quick 15 minute trip via Metro.
I think the thing we loved the most was THE BED! Oh my word, after a day of walking miles through the city, you lay down in that bed and you never want to get up.
Ida is quick to respond with questions or concerns and makes everything from check in to check out as easy as can be.
