This is an outstanding place to stay and visit the Mall, Smithsonian and Capitol buildings. Convenient to Metro, it took 20 minutes mid-day from Reagan Airport to the front door. Our hosts Sara and William were excellent communicators and easy to work with. The separate entrance “garden apartment” in the lower level of the row house is in a beautiful neighborhood, with several good restaurants in easy walking distance. 20 minute walk past the Capitol and Supreme Court to the National Gallery. All museums and monuments can be reached on foot if you like to walk, and 3-4 Metro stops take you to Smithsonian and Federal Triangle. Eastern Market has a Trader Joe’s for breakfast items. Local restaurants we enjoyed: Santa Rosa Taqueria; Hawk ‘n’ Dove pub; La Casina DC Pinseria for artisan pizza. Sculpture Garden Pavilion Cafe by the National Gallery has good salads and soups and outdoor tables. African American Museum and Holocaust Museum are terrific.
