Wonderful stay with my family (total 4 adults, 3 children). We were excited to stay in an authentic row house and were not disappointed! It was very easy to book and Freddie always responded quickly. The check in instructions were very detailed and included pictures of the outside of the house as well as where the keys were located which was super helpful as we ended up arriving late. There is a Sherwin Williams paint store a few houses down where we were able to briefly park in order to unpack the car and get the parking pass, and we were able to find a great parking spot right in front. The front room has a table big enough to sit 6 comfortably with extra folding chairs to fit an additional 2 on the ends. although that is tight. There are 5 hooks for coats as well as place to put your shoes and umbrellas. The middle room has the TV and sofa bed, the large TV was easy to use with detailed instructions on Airbnb site. The galley kitchen has a heated floor(!), huge stove / hood, beautiful antique farmhouse sink and cabinet with modern full size fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Plenty of dishes and silverware, and although we didn’t cook we certainly could have in the well stocked kitchen. Loved the French press and hot water kettle! Upstairs the master bedroom had convenient armoire and shelving, the bathroom was small but stylish with reclaimed wood and the rain showerhead was great. The second bedroom has bunk beds and a day bed with trundle which fit the kids fine. The second bathroom is large with beautiful claw foot tub and separate shower with another great showerhead. as well as heated floors! Washer /dryer on the second floor. with provided detergent. Beds were very comfortable, towels soft and fluffy, enough outlets, and sofabed able to fit 2 adults. The house is well designed to maximize the small spaces and beautifully decorated. Nice natural light as well as helpful LED light strips in several rooms. Each room has its own heater / AC - there is a remote on each floor that can be used to control each individual unit which worked great for us. Plenty of hot water for everyone’s showers. There are stairs to initially enter the house and a narrow staircase connecting the first and second floors, so would not recommend this for someone with limited mobility or very small children as there is no way to gate the stairs. There are a few steps in the master bedroom bathroom that you need to be mindful of when using the space.
Location is great! Less than 5 minute walk to the NoMA metro station and about 10 minute walk to Union Station. The Circulator bus leaves from Union Station - rode all the way to Georgetown for $1! Less than 15 minute walk to Union Market where we had great food. There is a Giant grocery store by Union Station but we prefered Trader Joe’s which is ~5 minutes away. It was easier and cheaper for us to eat breakfast at the house before setting off for our days. We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood and it was quiet. Appreciated the Metro cards Freddie provided, some had $ left and we loaded more on. The parking pass also saved us having to pay for parking, and with the easy access to the Metro we didn’t use our car the whole time.
We met Eddie who lives next door - friendly, helpful, and told us a bit about how he remodeled the house. He contacted me after we left because he found some cash that we had inadvertently forgot - he returned the money to us even though it would have been simple to just keep it since we likely wouldn’t have realized we left it there - appreciate his honesty! He invited us to be on his podcast which was the highlight of our trip! We highly recommend staying here if you are in the DC area.
