Everything was perfect about Homewood Suites. Highly recommended. Excellent room service, clean rooms, spacious, wonderful breakfast, and coffee is there all the time. The shop is fantastic and I found everything i need (cold meds, snacks, detergents). I also really like the security and safety measures and that food delivery is allowed only at reception area. Definitely coming again. Many thanks to the wonderful staff and the reception desk that was always friendly and welcoming. Hope to see them again :)

    All the museums are wonderful and free.

    All the museums are wonderful and free. The postal and African American were amazing. Indian and Gallery of Art, too. Best in two hour bursts then grab a bite there or nearby. Use Ubers or public trans. Little parking. Weekdays less crowded.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
