We chose Shikha's home as a destination to gather our family for a visit not only to DC but to our son's young family living on Capitol Hill. Shikha's spot was large enough for our other son, his wife and our grandson to stay and for all of us to gather to explore DC by being outside, from the National Mall to the Navy Yard we enjoyed walking and then stopping at the many nearby restaurants. The 2 1/2 baths provided the room needed when living with a few adults for the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking however we tended to have only breakfast and appetizers during our stay.
We had a family picture on the lawn of the Capitol which was an easy walking distance to Shikha's. Additional restaurants, particularly on Barrack's Row, were all a short stroll. A newly opened Trader Joe's provided shopping convenience for the babies, breakfast, appetizers and wine.
I would choose Shikha's again should our family be so lucky to gather a second time in DC.
