The space is like a home a way from home. Having the washer is a huge bonus especially if traveling along the east coast. We stayed in NYC first and then into Philly before DC. The neighborhood is really quiet and clearly family friendly. Lots of dogs being walked in the morning was a pleasant sight. You are about a ten minute walk from the most eastern sites, like the Supreme Court, but there are rental bikes around the corner and bus stop a block away. A Trader Joe’s is a half mile south and a Whole Foods is a half mile north. The on-site hosts are really responsive and wonderful. This is a great space to call home base in DC!
