Let’s start with positives: home is tastefully decorated, great proximity to just about all things DC (seriously, we were within 10 minutes of just about everything), on-site parking, great home amenities…
Unfortunately, if you (like myself and my partner) are looking for a stay away from home that is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing, with privacy, this is not the home for you. We were not made aware that Albert and his entire family (wife and two young children) live directly above, and I mean directly. We could hear every single footstep (and they were HEAVY), we could hear conversations, and often times during our stay, we had windows wide open and the family was literally outside. Like to the point where I’m rushing to put on clothes because wow look, the door blinds are open and there’s an entire family outside of my window. I’m outside having a conversation and at any moment, the back gate is opening and in walks the family right at the back of the house where we are parked.
There was completely no regard for guests below. From 8 am to late at night, footsteps marching across the floor. I even messaged Albert about the noise on the first night, and I got no response and nothing changed; it actually worsened. This is what I have to deal with at home in my own apartment, so to have the opportunity to getaway for a weekend and deal with that again was extremely unfortunate. The home was beautiful, but be aware that it is nowhere near soundproof.
