Depends on where you want to go. Lincoln memorial is a little over a mile away. White house is just a block or two. Washington monument is probably 4 blocks away. Smithsonian museums are between maybe 3 and 7 blocks pend in ghetto on which one. National portrait galley (my favorite) is about a 10 min walk. I highly recommend getting a map and plotting out what you want to see and do them strategically. Stuff is clumped together, but clumps can be far from each other. Lincoln, Korea, and Vietnam all close together. They're a half mile from Washington monument and WWII, which are pretty close to MLK and FDR. Jefferson is out on its own so you're going to have to walk a ways around the title basin if you want to get there. Capital, Supreme Court, and library of congress are close together, but about 1.5 miles from the Washington opposite direction from Lincoln. Hopefully that's helpful to get you started.
You would be right near all the attractions
The white house is just a couple blocks over. Everything else is just a few minutes away. But be prepared to do a lot of walking if you want to see it all. It's hot this time of year so take a backpack with some water, all the vendors along the route will charge an average of 3 to 4 dollars for one bottle.
Very close to mall,washinton monujent, whitehouse. Most major museuns within 30 minute walk.
Very close to the White House, close to the African American Smithsonian, And other sites in the West end of the mall. To the Capital on the east end over a mile.
