Comfortable, cool retreat in the middle of a hot-hot summer in DC. Loved being in town, so close to all the things to do AND in a neighborhood with a wonderful vibe. Safeway around the corner (328 steps!) and coffee and ice-cream in the Circle day or night. We paced ourselves in seeing the sights — often coming home for a break before going out again at night to walk to the monuments or dinner. This is the way to do DC. Thanks to our hosts for such a great spot.
