Consejos para la ciudad

Facilidad para moverse por la casa

Bike or bus is the best way to sight-see DC.

Bike rentals are 2 blocks away, tour bus companies pick up near by.
Qué debes empacar

Good walking shoes and a rain coat are good to have.

DC weather in the spring time is erratic. If you forgot something, don't panic -- you can find a store for it very close. Drug stores are blocks away.
