Glorious is the only word befitting our stay in the D.C.area. This home is gorgeous, comfortable and beautifully appointed with luxury appliances and finishes. Every single appliance, whisper quiet. You would never know the dishwasher, washer and dryer were even running!
I suggest you take an inventory before going to the grocery store, as Lisa and Steve have thought of everything. I have never stayed in a rental where the owners have provided every single convenience of home, in fact, most rentals provide little to nothing. From toilet paper, paper towels, sponges, toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soaps), dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, garbage bags, kitchen spices/condiments, even various coffees and teas, Lisa and Steve have literally thought of everything, and their generosity and kind consideration will save you a ton of money and make you feel at home. Lisa and Steve were also super accommodating and responded to our questions within minutes.
This home is centrally located and we preferred the slightly longer walk to the Eastern Market metro station. This New Yorker found the D.C. metro system a bit confusing, but everyone, including metro staff and other passengers, were so helpful. The system...efficient, timely and very clean. Uber was FABULOUS...and cheap! If more than two people are out, it was almost comparable to metro prices and WAY more convenient. The average wait time anywhere for an Uber cab, less than 5 minutes anytime we called. And we used them...a LOT! We took an Uber to Arlington (twice), to Mount Vernon, and countless other times all over the city. We also really loved just walking around and even walked all the way to the White House! The neighborhood is vibrant and shopping couldn't be more convenient, with a grocery store and CVS just steps away. Many dining choices within walking distance, and we also had food delivered. Everyone in the neighborhood (and in D.C.overall) polite, friendly and helpful.
At the end of our busy sightseeing days, we came home to a comfortable chair and sectional sofa, with an extra bed and chaise lounge to stretch our tired legs. A perfectly sized TV with great cable service and Netflix and Roku built right in...crystal clear picture and service. Everything worked flawlessly (something I can't say about other rentals I've stayed in). The extra 1/2 bath downstairs was an added luxury that we appreciated very much....no need to trudge upstairs to use the facilities. The beds and pillows, delicious and super comfy. The bathrooms, gorgeous and spotlessly clean. The showers with their rain shower heads, so relaxing and refreshing...tons of clean comfy towels provided.
This beautiful home is the best kept secret in D.C.. You will not get more for your money anywhere else in the area. We can't wait to go back! Thank you Lisa and Steve, and the good people of D.C. for an unforgettable trip!
