Melody's place was cute and good for our short stay in D.C. It was very clean and well decorated. The backyard garden area was very nice, although we were out most of the time and did not use it. It was at the top of a hill and near the woods which was nice as well. It was also a short Uber ride to all attractions. The only downside in my opinion was the area. It was not one we felt comfortable walking around freely in to catch public transportation or grab a coffee or bite to eat. However, Melody's place does have security that made us feel comfortable once we got home. The metro was not convenient, so we relied on Uber's, but the rides were relatively cheap because of proximity. Great price for being in D.C., though, overall!
