My family is planning a DC trip next summmer. My son has food allergies so we need a full kitchen. Any suggestions for finding a hotel or rental?
The Embassy Suites Washington-Convention Center have full kitchens and dining rooms. You could also try Airbnb.com and rent an apartment or suite.
Good luck.
