My dearest friend and I were in DC on a girls' trip and were lucky enough to be able to stay at Anya's and Chris' home. Anya was easy to communicate with and before we arrived, I was able to tap into her knowledge of the neighborhood for some recommendations. Chris met us when we arrived at the house and took the time to show us around and how everything worked. It was the perfect size for the two of us, as we each had our own bedroom and shared the bath. We found the home to be comfortable and upgraded and it was a great home base for our explorations of the neighborhood and the city. Also, Anya and Chris live just two doors down so were readily available to us for questions.

The Naval Shipyard area is really up and coming in an awesome way and we felt safe even as two women traveling alone by taking reasonable precautions. There is a Harris Teeter supermarket close by and plenty of restaurants, both down on the waterfront and up towards Eastern Market and we were able to walk to all of these destination. We used the Eastern Market Metro station, about a 10-minute walk from the house. We found the location to be pretty perfect and would definitely consider staying again at this home.

Restaurants that we tried in the neighborhood were Bluejacket, Lavagna, and Matchbox, all of which we would recommend. Aura Spa is a quick walk away and a great place to get a massage. I don't think one could go wrong by staying at this location.
