Neighborhood feel- friendly staff

Safe area - close enough to walk to museums and White House but had a neighborhood feel- staff was extremely nice and helpful - room and common areas very clean - we easily used Uber as it was very hot during our visit. P St is just a block up near Logan Circle with many restaurants and a Whole Foods Market. Would definitely stay again.
