Margie's place is definitely a win for those looking for a no-frills affordable place to stay on Capitol Hill with easy access to the national Mall and a reasonable distance from Eastern Market. The home is historic with great character and simplicity, but is a fine place to rest your head if you want to be close to the action. I was happy I brought slippers/sandals for the walk from the bedroom to the bathroom but otherwise found I had the essentials. You truly cannot beat the location.
