We enjoyed our stay at this well equipped basement flat. It was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed and was very quiet. We didnt get time to enjoy the garden but it was well maintained. Our private entrance was handy so we didnt disturb our hosts if we came back late. There was some brochures and leaflets left for us which were handy. There was a bus stop a couple minutes walk away and the no 52 took you to l'enfant plaza and 54 took you to the white house etc which roughly took 45-55 minutes depending on traffic. It only cost $2 adult and $1 senior but makes sure you have the right money as no change is given. Uber and Lyft are plentiful, as we found after a long day sightseeing a 55 minute bus back became a bit too much for us. If you dont have a car like us a taxi from Washington Dulles airport was $75-$86 with tip. A good cafe/shop up the road called Gold Coast makes lovely sandwiches. Overall a pleasant stay.
