I visited DC with my three kids (ages 11-17), and the size, location, and pricing for this place was pretty perfect. The stocked kitchen/bathroom, helpful amenities, and security system allowed us to comfortably function before and after our treks about the town. The hosts communicated quickly when needed, but their detailed write-up provided pretty much all of the direction we needed for our stay. The under 10 minute walk to the Columbia Heights metro station was a benefit, as was the close proximity to Target. Highly recommend.
