Mike & Rebecca's place is amazing and they are wonderful as hosts. We had to change around our Labor Day weekend plans from 2 nights of Fri/Sat to Sat/Sun then to 3 nights of Fri/Sat/Sun, AND from 9 guests, to 6, to 4, and finally at the last minute to 10 on the last night of our stay. They were incredibly understanding and flexible every time I contacted them about a change - and even allowed us, at the last minute, to utilize the basement apartment that last evening for some of the older group members so they wouldn't have to navigate stairs. I didn't personally go into the basement apartment but the 2 couples who did said it was PERFECT for the 4 of them. Mike & Rebecca's home is spotless, the furnishings are eclectic and fun, the kitchen is well-stocked and clean, and we felt extremely comfortable and safe in their home. The youngest (8 y.o.) claimed the whole 3rd floor as HER playroom and spent most of our time in the house playing up there. We took a walk around the neighborhood and were glad to see a wonderful mix of old homes, renovations, and new construction. The drive from BWI was extremely easy & the drive to the monuments in DC was busy, as expected, but not terrible. I will absolutely recommend Mike & Rebecca's place to any of my friends visiting DC & will stay there again whenever I find myself in the area again.
(As a side note: We highly recommend eating at Founding Farmers restaurant in DC. The food was incredible, the bloody marys were spicy, and the wait for a table was long but we understood why after tasting their shrimp & grits and Bourbon-crusted french toast!!!)
