Chris’ place was the perfect spot for our extended family’s trip to DC. We enjoyed being so close to the zoo and made several visits. We also enjoyed many of the local eateries. All 9 members of our family had a place to sleep and their was plenty of room in the living room and dining room for all of us to fit. Just one word of caution- if you have older people in your party then you should plan accordingly because the house is situated in the middle of a very long hill with the zoo at the bottom (that you then have to walk up to go home) and all of the restaurants and the metro are at the top of the hill. It’s not flat at all and some members of our family found it difficult to walk, especially in the heat. Uber became our go to towards the end of our trip.
