The house is in a great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and a grocery store a few blocks away. You can walk to the zoo from here. It's a 40 min train ride to the National Mall so I uber'ed most days. $20 uber ride each way. This is a great place for someone who is getting up early every day. You can hear the family walking upstairs and they are EARLY risers so if you want to sleep in, this isn't the place. Otherwise, this is a fantastic spot for a couple to stay! It's clean, safe, has food/bars around it, and is a walkable neighborhood.
