If you are looking for an affordable place in a great location, consider this basement apartment a block from a fabulous sushi restaurant and two blocks from Whole Foods. There are many great places to eat on H St. We never walked farther than three blocks and our meals ranged from Ben's Chili bowl to lovely French wine and food at Le Grenier. Union Station is a 15 minute walk down safe, oneway streets with four-way stops through residential neighborhoods of colorful row houses and wide sidewalks. We called a lift when the metro did not get us close and never paid more than 10 bucks to get to museums and restaurants in NW. The owner, Alison, was very responsive to our questions and requests. She provided more amenities then I expected, from toothbrushes to coffee and cream. I love D.C. and this was the perfect spot to sample all that this beautiful city full of friendly people has to offer.
