We rented Jon's place for a long weekend to check out DC. It was the perfect little apartment for our family (4 adults, 4 kids ages 1, 3, 4, 6). Clean and updated, great air conditioning and very comfortable as it was very hot outside. We took Amtrak to DC and it was a pretty easy walk to the apartment even with all the kids and our bags. We didn't have a car for our trip but never needed one. We spent the whole first day walking around, and though some stuff was a "far" walk (Lincoln Memorial, Reflecting Pool, White House, etc) it was really an easy walk to get anywhere. The house is a nice, safe location on a quiet one-way street. It is also about a 10 minute walk to the red line subway station, which is only a few dollars to ride and took us right to the zoo, which was enjoyed by everyone. We really enjoyed our stay in DC and Jon's apartment and would definitely stay again next time we are in town. Thanks!
