Ingrid's place is indeed extraordinary! Ultra CLEAN and updated, spacious, safe, and super comfortable. Everything you could want or need -- from the convenient luggage racks placed in each room (wow, you never find this!) to the luxury sheets, large beds, great water pressure, nice shampoos, ample couches, large dining table, chairs on the back porch for morning coffee, large TV, books about DC, tips on restaurants, Ingrid has thought of everything! Although we did not do any cooking besides quick breakfasts, the kitchen was amazing (and huge)! So glad for the filtered water and perfect air conditioning for our hot July visit. This place has larger beds in comparison to others and having 1.5 baths rather than just one is definitely a bonus. We paid a little extra for private parking on site and so glad we did, I highly recommend! Let's talk about location in this QUIET area: just perfect! Short walk to Union Station to pick up metro, bus, or bikes -- we went everywhere from that point. Ingrid prepared a binder with maps and all the perfect tips for breakfast and dinner nearby. We were amazed at the convenience and quality. Ingrid gave us the "no worries" when our travel delayed check-in a bit and patiently stuck around to help us. Everything was smooth and Ingrid genuinely wanted us to have a great stay in her beloved DC. We got to explore all the touristy things as well as enjoy the trendy neighborhoods and food. This was definitely a great way to do DC -- we plan to return to Ingrid's place!
