What amazing things I can say of Joanna and Paul’s incredible, stylish and comfortable home! Our whole trip was made just that much better because of our stay in this beautiful place and our lovely interactions with both hosts.
The space is so, so beautiful - really thoughtful, clean and modern interior design with lovliest antique touches. The outdoor space was amazing to use, I could’ve just stayed out there endlessly. I wished so much that we’d have had more days there so I could have used the gorgeous kitchen area - though we did use the big rustic table for work a bit, and that space is incredible. The lofted bedroom space is airy and bright and beautiful - we slept so well and then woke to morning light pouring in from skylights with stunning vistas of the surrounding rooftops.
Location was fantastic for us. It’s a little further out from the center - so although you can get right down the heart in a quick metro ride - you can also escape the touristy chaos and just relax into the neighborhood lifestyle. The area is romantic and full of little cafes and coffee shops, bakeries and little boutiques.
Joanna met us in the space and we had the most wonderful conversations with her as she showed us around the space - explaining all we’d need to know about the home and then giving us a run down of the neighborhood offerings. Take ALL of their recommendations, we could not have found the little gems they knew of in the area and we were so thankful for their curated list. Paul met us to check out and was equally as wonderful to talk with. As we walked to the Metro with our bags we even heard a call behind us and turned around to see Paul running up the street with our travel cups which we had left behind - so kind! What a charming, entertaining and sweet couple - we would have loved to have stayed and talked with both of them at length over coffee!
This home was that illusive combination of beautiful and comfortable, turned out to be in the most ideal location, and Joanna and Paul’s gracious hospitality made us feel right at home. You will LOVE it!
