Big thumbs up. Michael has a lovely, light-filled apartment. Modern kitchen with everything you need including scissors and scotch tape. Great touches like luxury sheets and rain-shower shower head. The health food store, Yes, is a short walk away. I walked to buy their French roast every morning because it was very good. Eastern Market subway is a short walk.
A few days we took the subway the short trip to L'Enfant Plaza and rented bikes for three hours from Bike and Ride. Then we biked all around the mall. That is the best way to see the Mall, especially with a child.
One day we rented bikes the full day and biked along the Potomac to the top of Georgetown. (I doubt bikes are allowed on the steep sidewalks of Georgetown, but nobody said anything).
Our Congressman told us it was smart we visited in September. The Capitol seemed busy enough the day we were there, 2,000 visitors. He said in summer they saw 14,000 visitors per day!
