Such a great location! Although public transportation was so easy to use from the apartment, we are walkers and had a great time setting off on foot to the National Mall, Union Station, White House etc...Very cold weather set in while we were there and we were provided with extra blankets and kind safety advice about icy conditions. The place itself was lovely, with comfortable chairs and couches to sit and visit with friends and family. Alison provided a binder full of local info that was really helpful.
