Charming place close to the metro but also walkable to Union Station and the Capitol Building. Took my 4 kids to see and experience DC for the first time, found getting around using the Metro very easy. We were able to hit all the monuments on the Mall and most of the museums using the place as our home base. Spent a bit of time in and around Chinatown for food which was a very simple Metro ride away (no changing lines). Didn't do much food prep at the house, but we did hit the local grocer for snack food which was just a few block away.
