This is a great alternative to a hotel, situated in a busy, walkable little area of DC. Everything you might need for your stay is within a block or two. Paid parking garages nearby were easy to use. Easy check-in/checkout. We stayed here with our 3 yo son when we needed to be in town on short notice, and while I wouldn't recommend it for that (it isn't very soundproof), it would be wonderful for a couple or small group with no young children. It's an older, classic DC building--so you get the creaky floors and stuff, but you also get the historic charm of the area.
