This place has it all: close access to the Eastern Market subway that will let you visit monuments around the city (and any other place you'd like to visit on your vacation), one block over is loads of restaurant and shopping, and to cap it all off - just down the street is a Trader Joe's and CVS. This was a great spot for our family and allowed us to have a quiet place to recharge and explore a quaint area of DC. Definitely recommend!
