I regularly travel to DC for work and have stayed in a variety of places. By far, Jacob's place is above and beyond the best one I've stayed at. My husband and I were there for 4 nights in early May for a business trip. The basement apartment is beautifully designed with lots of pieces that nod to his love for DC. It is located on a quiet, tree-lined street close to shops, restaurants, and grocery stores (Trader Joe's is around the corner). U Street, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle/14th Street, and Shaw are all within a 10-15 minute walk. We had an opportunity to cook while we were there and for days we wanted to eat out there were plenty of options just a short walk away. Jacob left no stone unturned. His attention to detail is unmatched. There were many special touches from the snacks, fruit, and sparkling water provided, fully stocked kitchen with several gadgets and appliances (there was even a crockpot!), to toiletries. This might be a small thing that really caught my attention but I was extremely grateful for the umbrellas he left for us to use. This was a welcome sight when we arrived because it was pouring when we got to DC and as luck would have it we didn't have any. The last point to note is how impeccably clean the apartment was. Sparkling! I would definitely stay here again without hesitation when I'm back in the area.
