I did a lot of research on different places for our vacation to the DC area. We found DC offers free bus transportation on the Circulator (not the regular metro) and checked out homes near these stops. Chris's place is an easy 10-minute walk to the Circulator which takes you just a few blocks from the White House. There are 4 different Circulator routes that are color-coded and they are super easy to figure out. There's even one that travels all around the Mall. My point in all this is, we saved a TON of money staying at Chris's place and utilizing the Circulator.
Chris's place was spotless when we arrived. Other's have mentioned a musty smell in the back bedroom, we did notice it a bit as well but with the AC and fan running hardly made a difference to us. Everything we needed to make quick breakfasts before we headed out was available in the kitchen. The only things we needed to pick up was food. There were plenty of towels, washcloths, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. to handle our family of 5. A couple of times we had a question as to where something was or to handle something, a quick text and we were answered! Never had to wait long on a response which was great! During our visit, no one was staying upstairs so we had no issues with noise until our 2nd to last day. Apparently, there was a "conference" of approximately 10-15 people attending. We were pretty nervous as they showed up around 8-8:30 at night and when we were outside could hear them from the front. However, other than some footsteps above every now and then, we heard nothing else. We all slept through the night completely uninterrupted. Overall, we were more than happy with our stay, highly recommend the place and will definitely be back if we had back to the DC area!
