Just returned from a wonderful week in DC (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The house was everything I had hoped for. It was stocked with all the essentials, and even some of the niceties I didn't expect, like coffee, laundry detergent, and hand soap in the bathrooms. Sara was a wonderful host. She reached out to us a couple of times, to make sure we had everything we needed. We used the kitchen for breakfast and snacks, but it was well equipped for more serious cooking.

The house is about a half mile from the Shaw/Howard metro station, and there are 3 bus routes that stop right around the corner. We walked to restaurants and shopping every day, and always felt safe. Yes, there is some traffic noise at night, but I expect that in any big city. Plus, each bedroom has a fan for white noise and cooling. I would absolutely recommend this home for travelers to DC.
