The house was very roomy, light filled, and modern. The creature comforts were there, with comfy beds, soft linens. and plenty of fluffy white towels. There was plenty of room for my family of five to spread out, which was wonderful. I had hoped we would be able to utilize the public transit system, but the 0.7 mile walk along the busy roads with three kids wasn't within my comfort zone. We have stayed at another DC location in the past that was more pedestrian friendly, so I had high hopes for this location, but we just ended up driving when we wanted to tour around the museums and monuments. That being said, my husband did take public transit one day, and said the walk was fine for an adult and that the closest station was very clean and nice. There are some good restaurants within walking distance to this house, and you can easily get groceries and food deliveries. If we had been a party of just adults or teens and adults, we would have parked our large vehicle for the week, used the public transit, and the house would have been perfect for us.
