For our lodgings we were at the Wyndham Old Town Alexandria, Va (https://www.extraholidays.com/washington-dc/wyndham-old-town-alexandria.aspx) and it was nice and besides the standard fare that you expect in a room, it also included a full kitchen... of course we didn't actually use it for cooking very much. Shelly cooked Spaghetti and Meat Balls one evening and James3 cooked bacon, eggs and hash browns one morning. For the rest of our meals we ate out and that's covered elsewhere.
One of the nice features of our accommodations was the close proximity to the Metro rail system and we used it for most of our travels between Alexandria, Va and DC. It was great because the trains were very clean, very fast and there were lots of them. In DC we also used the Uber cabs twice because the walking was a bit too much for me, more about the walking in a later reply to this topic.
