You can’t go wrong with Jenny’s place! My daughters and I stayed here for two nights. Such a beautifully kept loft. They thought of everything (lovely spa-quality shampoo, hair dryer, etc) and we always felt very secure. The neighborhood has many options to get coffee or grab a bite within walking distance. It was a nice respite each night after spending all day in the city.
For transportation.... do not drive in to DC from the loft unless you are used to the traffic there. We used Lyft all weekend to go back and forth. Depending on traffic it takes 10-30 min one-way at a cost of $10-$20 depending on the time of day (3 miles into the city). It was great! If I ever come back to DC I’ll definitely stay here again! Perfection!!
