We stayed at Josh's place for the long weekend of July 4th. By us I mean my family of four + my mini schnauzer. My kids shared the guest room but they're small, the queen bed worked great and we knew that going in.
The place is an older town house, with all the charm but completely remodeled and updated. A modern marvel, ultra tastefully appointed. Can put to shame any hotel in terms of decorations. Super clean and accurate description.
I was not familiar with the location but I was very surprised, Shaw is exactly the place you want to be if you are a younger couple (or an older couple) or a smaller family looking for space but close to all the museums and National Mall. I mostly drove but Uber would have been just as convenient too.
I cannot think of a single negative. Even the parking situation isn't bad for street parking as the neighborhood is very safe and we were always able to find a spot either right in front of the house or on the same block.
With TVs everywhere and super high speed internet all devices stayed connected and going.
Check-in and out was a breeze...
I would highly recommend this place in the future and would not hesitate to book again if given the opportunity. The neighborhood feels A++.
