My husband and I loved Cathy and Bruce’s spot for our DC getaway. We were glad to find out that it was located on a quiet street since we were concerned that we may be in an unsafe area (because we didn’t know anything about the city) we felt so safe and comfortable walking to restaurants near the Eastern Market in the evening after dark. Cathy was so great with communication and even had baked goodies waiting for us when we checked in! The Metro wasn’t super close by but we felt close enough to the National Mall to just walk down to all of the attractions (about a 45 min walk). There are so many bikes and scooters nearby for rent if you didn’t want to walk though.
The only consideration I’d mention about this spot is that there is a bit of noise coming from the upstairs unit(s). It wasn’t ridiculous but you can certainly hear footsteps, voices, etc up above you. Despite this, we’d certainly stay here again and really enjoyed our stay!
