I only have 500 words to describe how fantastic this stay and this apartment (and host!!) was? OK - well, my wife and I and our two girls showed up early, after having to reschedule part of our trip (Trish accommodated our change AND helped us find a place to stay for the one night that she was booked and couldn't house us). When we got there (earlier than expected), she welcomed us into her house (upstairs) to freshen up before we went off to the zoo for the day (which, by the way, is just a few minutes’ walk through the fantastic neighborhood).

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there, including a bottle of wine, fruit, snacks, coffee and more. The bathroom even had extra toothpaste, toothbrushes, cotton balls and Q-tips. Trish thought of everything that would make our stay easier (games for the girls, coloring books, markers, maps, tour books, etc.) She even put two stuffed animals on the bed for our girls in case they forgot theirs.

The apartment was perfectly sized for our family (my wife and I, and two girls 8 and 5), the bed and pull out were comfy, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.

The best part, though, has to be the hosts, who seemed genuinely happy to see us, to talk with us, and make sure we enjoyed our stay.

We couldn’t be happier with our stay, and recommend this listing to anyone looking for a great place to stay in DC.
