I absolutely loved my stay in this adorable cottage. Paul was so lovely and accommodating, agreeing to meet me a little early to give me the key due to the fact that I was in town for an event that started at the normal check-in time. He was really helpful and even left a hand-drawn and personalized map of local restaurants and bars and also gave me a quick intro when I arrived (as I was in a hurry). He was really a great ambassador for the neighborhood and made me feel right at home. Paul and partner Zach are actually designers (interior and landscape architect), and this really shows in the attention to detail in this charming apartment. In addition to providing such lovely accommodations, the couple also went out of there way to provide little amenities like popcorn, tea, coffee, orange juice and even hot chocolate in the suite. The space was clean, immaculately renovated and just beautiful. I love that they maintained to beautiful character of the place (it was built in 1901) yet made really nice updates to make it feel more contemporary and comfortable. The garden was absolutely beautiful, and the place was actually within a reasonable walking distance from the subway, lots of cute bars and even the National Mall. Paul recommended brunch at a local restaurant that was just down the street, which was delicious. I ate there on my way out of town and was really surprised when he went above and beyond to run down there and return my umbrella, which I had left in the entryway! Such a nice guy! Overall, I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. Great hosts and a great apartment. I look forward to visiting again!
