If I could, I would give six stars for communication. Hosts are very quick in responding, helpful, and making sure everything is going well.
The place is super clean, cozy, cute, and quiet. Would come back in a heartbeat. It has pretty much everything provided you can wish for in a vacation rental, including coffee and tea for your first morning.
It is an easy walk to mid Georgetown (15-20 minutes, a little further to the DC Circulator stop), but be aware that the next grocery stores are a bit of a distance (Trader Joe's and Safeway both about 30 minutes on foot).
There is a tiny Grocery&Deli ("Palisades Deli") on MacArthur Blvd. a seven minute-walk away if you just need a couple of things.
You can take the DC Circulator to and around downtown Washington for $1.
For metro options: we took the Metro to Ferragut West a couple of times and then walked 40 minutes to our rental instead of taking the D6 bus which would have taken about the same time to ride.
We never tried the D6 metrobus which stops nearby on Q Street so I cannot comment on that.
The rental is in a safe area, I was never worried walking around with my son or jogging by myself. Cute neighborhoods all around with beautiful houses. Our favorite was 44th street with all its side streets.
Having been in quite a few vacation rentals in Europe and the United States, this is one of my absolute favorites. Thank you, Julia and Rick, it was a pleasure!
