Had a most excellent experience at Paul’s place. The place was super-clean and all communication went very smoothly. The neighborhood was also very nice with a relaxed vibe, lots of trees along the streets which had a cooling effect in summer, perfect place to come back to after exploring the city. In terms of convenience it is possible that downtown has better access to the subway (which I never used), but the place was still only 20-25 minutes walk away from the national mall which is where most visitors will spend most of their time anyway. I’d definitely book again if I ever come back.
