We spent our days around the mall and really enjoyed the bus access and metro access from the house. The bus stops we used were less than a minute walk and the metro was a few minutes walk. Or, take the bus to the metro. Enjoyed several of Greg's recommendations for nearby eats. The Far East Taco Grill was a 30 second walk from the front door, so was ideal on the night we arrived. We felt the kitchen was well appointed, and the heater sure could warm the place up quickly. As it rained 2 days while we were there, the dryer was much appreciated. Overall a great place for our 6 adults.
