Jerry’s condo was our home base to explore DC for a week. Living in this historic brick building in a lively neighborhood where you can walk to everything made us feel like DC residents, rather than ordinary tourists. The condo has a well supplied kitchen, plenty of extra bedding, and even bonus items like an extra backpack and umbrellas (which we needed!). The Du Pont circle metro station is a pleasant 5 min walk. Note that the red line requires a transfer in order to get to the Smithsonian stop on the mall. On Friday and Saturday nights it’s a bit noisy in the master bedroom facing the street, but it tapers off after 11 or so. Highly recommended.
