This a an excellent location. A very short walk to the park or to pick up fresh pastries. Eating and shopping very convenient, no car need. We went for the Cherry Blossoom festival and everything was sooo accessible, The Metro a few short blocks away to get you anywhere in the DC area including The Tidal Basin, The National Mall, the Wharf.... I would highly recommend this location. It could use just a little more sprucing up but its definitely not a show stopper. If you visit DC and want to see tourist places this is your spot.
