Car-free DC tour with middle-schoolers

This is a wonderful base for touring monuments, memorials, museums, Capital, White House, etc. Only a block from Union Station, the METRO made travel quick and was itself a treat for our suburban kids from Colorado. By choice, we walked alot, too.
The owners are gracious and cordial. Communicating about the reservation was easy, both via phone and e-mail. We didn't need anything, but it was obvious Ingrid was open to questions and requests. Our security deposit was returned quickly, with a thank-you note.
The apartment is cheery, bright, inviting and clean. It's cozy, so most comfortable for 1 or 2 people. We RV for 3 months at a time so it was spacious for the 4 of us. The 10 & 12 year-old did fine on the sofa bed, but larger teens might be uncomfortable. The kids came down with bad colds so an apartment was wonderful for resting up & cooking in. Tschiffely Pharmacy in Union Station was handy for this need, and the grocery across the street is well-stocked for creating simple meals.
Our 3G wireless modem made a good connection, so we didn't try the house internet connection. Wish we had spent more time in Union Station, and hear the moonlight monument tour is really good... next time.
