We loved this very sunny and charming, old home on a quiet and safe-feeling street: even the bathroom has a skylight. With the two extra mattresses in closets we could pull out and arrange in bedrooms, it was a near-perfect sleeping arrangement for our family of 7 with 5 children ages 5-17. This home was a clean, inviting place to come home to after long days, like a friend’s home. Our host’s contact was helpful without ever being intrusive. We appreciated both the accessibility to the metro and buses for days we were visiting the National Mall with our Smartrip cards as well as the parking space in the back for days we had a rental car for visiting historic locations further away. We didn’t do much cooking beyond using the microwave and toaster, although there were cooking tools for much more. The kitchen allowed us to comfortably eat breakfast at home, pack lunches at the island for certain days, and eat take-out at home certain nights at the table with nice plates and utensils. I appreciated the color, diverse book selection, and decor as well. We had access to plenty of extra towels, sheets, paper products, etc. tucked away in drawers and closets. We highly recommend it!
