A perfect place to stay

The downstairs unit was well-appointed and met our needs. We flew into Regan, and took the Metro to the Eastern Market station. We had never ridden a subway before, it was so easy! Just bring comfortable shoes, even the kids (12 & 14 yrs) said their feet hurt, probably because you are standing on marble & concrete floors and walking all the time. If you've been to Disney, it's much easier on your feet than DC, believe it or not! You really don't need a car, and as someone else mentioned, the "garage" is quite small.
When we needed groceries, we would get off on the next stop past Eastern Market (Potomoc, I think), do our shopping at the absolutely fabulous Harris Teeter and walk the 2 or 3 blocks back to the flat. The store entrance is on the other side of Pennsylvania, just make sure you walk back Pennsylvania, or you will walk an extra few blocks. When asked for a savings card, we told them we were visiting, and every cashier gave us the discount. :-) After the first day, we decided to pack our lunches and carry them in a backpack since it was over $45 for lunch for the four of us, and we only purchased 2 beverages!
We had a great time, and it was so nice to come back and be able to stretch out in the flat, definitely tons better than being cramped in a hotel room. We would stay here again if we came to DC.
