This adorable basement apartment provided the perfect home base for me while celebrating my 40th birthday in DC. It was my first time in the city and I think I couldn't have picked a better location. It was a 10 minute walk from the train. The neighborhood was charming and the people so friendly. The Whole Foods is a 3 minute walk and anything else in the city can be reached using one of the many rent-a-scooters (I liked the lyft brand the best).
Everything was clean and up-to-date in the apartment and check-in & check-out were super easy. Nathan and Brittany were very quick to respond to any questions.
I was only in town for 2 full days, arriving Tuesday afternoon and leaving Friday at noon so I only scratched the surface of what DC has to offer. I waited until the last morning to experience the National Mall with all the monuments along with the White House. I probably should've reserved an entire day to do this. I remember memorizing the Gettysburg Address as a child and having no idea what it all meant. Reading it again at the Lincoln Memorial gave me goosebumps. You could spend the entire day or week exploring that area. Wear your sunscreen! Not much shade in that area.
A couple other little gems I was happy I included into my trip were the Glenstone Museum in Potomac, MD. It's about a half hour ride, and you have to make reservations, but the Museum is free and absolutely breathtaking with its outdoor sculptures. Someone also recommended Renditions Golf Course in Davidsonville, MD, which replicates holes from famous golf courses. Very cool to play there and friendly staff. The other museums open during Covid right now are Mount Vernon and the International Spy Museum. I enjoyed these but would've rather spent my day exploring the National Mall. Can't wait to return and see what else our amazing Capital has to offer! I'm told Georgetown and Navy Yard are must sees!
