Our family of four came to DC for a 4-day spring break sightseeing trip. Robert's place was roomy enough for the four of us to spread out, it gave our two teenagers each their own bedroom, and the kitchen was perfect for stashing breakfast food to keep the eating out expenses down a bit. Robert's got a great sense of style and we all enjoyed checking out his collection of Americana in the house. His beds were comfortable, the a/c worked like a charm, there were plenty of towels, and the late 18th c. rowhouse has been beautifully restored and updated with modern conveniences. My wife and I enjoyed a drink on his small but very private back deck one late afternoon. And the available laundry meant we could do a couple loads mid-week and therefore only bring small roller bags' worth of stuff for a full week trip. We couldn't have asked for a better set-up and when compared to one large, or two adjoining, hotel rooms, it even saved us a bit of money.
The location just off the 14th St. corridor is really convenient for dining out and there are two grocery stores within a ten minute walk. The Logan's Circle neighborhood is leafy and full of great old rowhouses, many of which are being renovated. Our first day, we walked to the White House and Mall, but that's a walk I'd only do with older kids and able adults as it's roughly 1.5-2 mi. Robert's place is about a 6-8 block walk from the yellow & green Metro lines, a little longer to Dupont Circle and the red line. We used taxi's and Uber quite a bit and discovered most trips to and from the house and various touristy spots were less than $10. Even the cab from Reagan National was only a bit over $20.
For a family or group willing to spend a bit more and wanting a spot in a charming, historic neighborhood, with room to spread out a bit, and close to lots of great dining and going out spots, I can't recommend Robert's place enough. Thanks Robert!
