Brians place is beautifully clean and everything is there that you could need.
The buses going to the city and places of interest are very frequent and are only 2 dollars per trip if you are over 65 only 1 dollar.
There is a little shop which sells basic stuff very near. A short bus ride takes you to some more extensive shops and restaurants.
We loved Washington and enjoyed all the national monuments and the museums were great and free.
We visited the Cathedral which was beautiful. We were sorry that we did not get to see there bells
