There are many options for where to stay in DC, but Cari's cozy apartment was a SUPER fit for our three night stay. We were there as part of a project that involved high school kids... so transportation convenience was high on the priority list: this place is way close to the Metro, a skip to the conference center for our project, and included free parking. But Cari's place is SO nice, you might be tempted to skip that White House tour (especially if you're in DC during a blizzard... which we weren't). But you should know (or you do know) that teenagers can be pretty hard critics. Even with the Capitol tour, the SCOTUS lecture, a Library of Congress walk-about, and a fancy dinner in Georgetown, one young lobbyist from our group picked Cari's apartment as her favorite part of the trip. That's saying something.

Oh, and Cari is a very caring (pun intended) host. You should stay here.
