Charlet’s townhouse is a great gem. It is very close to the convention center nearby, yet has the charm and quiet of a true residential neighborhood. Great eateries and shops are just steps away (the Seylou Bakery just one street over was a favourite, but so many great places nearby). The house itself is large and airy with beautiful high ceilings. The living/dining area layout of the first floor was great for our group that loves to cook and we were able to forgo going out and enjoy many of our meals at home. All the bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms well-designed. The terrace/garden area w seating snd string lights in the back was a special gift even in cooler November climate. Finally, Charlet was a very helpful and responsive host. We would highly recommend this home for any small group attending a conference nearby or coming to town to see the sights. You really are not sacrificing on hotel comforts and having a real house in the heart of downtown DC is simply priceless.
