Alison’s place in Capital Hill is fantastic. Beautiful historic home in a safe and family friendly area of DC. Lincoln Park is right there which is great for walking and grabbing a cup of coffee from the corner cafe that has a very European flair with sidewalk seating. Easy walk to Metro which gets you within minutes to the heart of the Smithsonian area, National Mall and all of the monuments. So many things are walkable from Alison’s place which we loved. We had a car with us and we loved that there was ample free parking in the neighborhood, although we just left our car parked and either walked or took Metro since parking in the rest of DC is difficult. As a host, Alison was superb. Communication was easy and friendly, and the welcome packet she provided was full of so much great info on the logistics like parking, getting around, check-in info etc. And then she goes the extra mile and gives you fantastic recommendations for sites to see, restaurants and shops to visit, etc. I highly recommend Alison’s place and hospitality to anyone who wants an authentic Capital Hill/ DC experience.
