I dislike staying in hotels when travelling with my son so this place was a perfect alternative! Homey but unique feel, fantastic hosts, plenty of amenities - just a good fit! Washer and dryer were great to avoid packing up dirty clothes to travel home with. Stayed during some hot days and the home's temperature was great.
I was in DC for a conference at the Marriott Wardman - was a brief, safe and delightful walk there from Trish's house (3-4 minutes). A brief walk in the other direction, my son was able to walk to the zoo (6-8 minutes)! Location was just perfect for us - enough within walking distance and of course plenty to reach via car or uber within 15 minutes. Trish's place is on a nice quiet street - save for the morning birds and a neighbor a few doors down, sporadically and faintly strumming pleasantly on a guitar. Occasionally heard a bump from house above but certainly nothing that disturbed us (our home is a 3-story house and I hear more at home than I heard at Trish's). She offered her small but quaint garden for us to sit outside as well as her own front porch.
Trish and her family were flexible to my travel needs and very attentive, checking to make sure we were settled and comfortable way more than I had anticipated (had milk and juice in fridge upon our arrival and a fresh sunflower on the table, set out umbrellas on the porch for us to borrow - and more little but kind and noticeable gestures). We saved money by having all the kitchen items available to cook rather than always eat out (huge tea selection and some spices and kitchen odds and ends on hand).
My 8 year old enjoyed looking through the book and game selection - a huge amenity when compared to hotel stays! I would absolutely stay with Trish again with my small family! Totally appreciated her attention to detail and for sharing her home with us.
