Fantastic location for touring DC. We stayed for four nights and were really happy with our choice to stay at this location. The host's description of the home is accurate. It is a great older row home with an English Garden type basement apartment. The host notes that they (the owners) can sometimes be heard upstairs, and that is accurate. They are up early so you'll need to determine if this bothers you. We wanted to make the most of our time in DC so we weren't bothered by the sounds of footsteps above us earlier in the morning while the owners got ready for the day. Within a block, they have two good eating establishments and a grocery store slightly further away, which made things really easy on the first night we arrived to get settled in. We were able to find parking along the home's street and then never touch our car again until it was time to leave. The Metro is a tiny walk away and so convenient. We were able to meet one of the owners who offered some great advice on restaurants and other tips for a good stay in DC.
