So grateful for Ken and Nicole’s hospitality. This adorable cottage made us feel right at home, and it was fun to return to after exploring DC. It was simply, tastefully decorated and stocked with everything we needed, from filtered water to a stovetop and shelves of fiction. When we wanted tea we were offered our choice of bags from the owners’ kitchen. I appreciated the natural light and room-darkening shades. When we arrived Little Rock the cat greeted us, and shy Del the dog paid a brief visit. We scored free parking on the street and left our car all weekend. We walked to the H Street and Eastern Market neighborhoods for meals and even hiked back from the National Mall after getting a lift there. Next time we’ll try bikeshare, which is nearby. It was nice to stay in a residential neighborhood, with thoughtful residents, and live like residents vs. hotel guests.
