We visited DC during peek cherry blossom season, with 12 family members (3 children ages 8-11) and found Modern Charm to be comfortable for our large group. There is a futon on the main level that we did not know about when we booked our reservation that we ended up using, and plenty of linen. The other surprising feature was that the tubs had JETS! After a long day walking downtown, that was a nice surprise. Our host was very reachable throughout our stay and accommodating, allowing us to stay an extra 5 hours after checkout (since noone was booked on the day we left). We used the Super Shuttle to get to/from the airport (10 persons maximum), for convenience, but used the Metro for the rest of our travel. We had some persons in our group that preferred the more flat walking path, along Georgia, but a more direct path to the Metro was along 8th or 9th. The only problem we had during our stay was a Friday night party a few doors down, which disturbed the neighbor dogs, causing them to bark as well, but but it was only one night of our stay, it quieted down before midnight and the rest of our visit was very quiet. We found the basement is the best place to avoid the Friday night noise.
