Barbara’s place was great for our first trip to DC. It is located in a very cute, safe and quiet neighborhood. It is not far to walk to some restaurants and stores, and we were able to get a Lyft quickly to take us to the main attractions. As the listing says, the place is small so remember that when booking. It was perfect for 2 people, I think 3-4 would be pushing it simply because the couch with a fold out bed was very uncomfortable in our opinion. Maybe it would be okay for kids, not adults with neck and back issues so keep that in mind. The main bed was comfortable however and everything was very clean. We were gone most of the day so overall this was a nice stay to get a good nights sleep. If you’re driving to DC, please let Barbara know and she will get a parking pass for your vehicle! This was super helpful. A word of caution—This is a city and that means it’s hard to find a parking spot. We had to circle the block more than a few times until a car left their parking spot, and we took it. Once we parked our car we didn’t touch it, and we had no issues with theft or break ins as it is a very nice neighborhood.
Overall, Barbara’s place is nice for a first timers trip to DC.
