We loved our stay here, only wish we could have stayed longer! The location is about as close as you can get to the capitol and National Mall but in a quiet historic neighborhood. We stayed here with our four kids, which was maybe a bit tight but it worked for us :) You do have to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, and neither of those doors shut and latch properly, so if absolute privacy is a non-negotiable for you then that is something for families to keep in mind. Otherwise the place is beautiful and quiet, full of plenty of reading material, including some very helpful travel guides to help plan your visit. Highly recommended for families or anyone else!!
