Jeff and Traci are incredibly kind, their home is an affordable easy place to stay in DC. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the metro, but there are buses that are closer. We highly recommend checking out Union Market in the area for a cute evening. Access to laundry was extremely helpful during our stay. Much like the other reviewers we agreed that the footsteps and dog barks are audible, but it wasn't too much of an inconvience.
