We had such a wonderful stay at Jonathan and Erin’s place and it was so nice to meet their kids as well.
The area where they live was very easy to find and very safe to walk around even in the evening hours. The neighborhood was just a few blocks from Potomac Metro Station, which was the transport of our choice when going back and forth in DC. Very easy to get around.
The room itself is located in their basement and it is a well decorated, cozy and functional room. It was great having our own private entrance and bathroom. We also had access to a washer and dryer. The bed was very comfortable and several pillows were provided.
Towels and washcloths soap, shampoo, a space to hang your clothes, a small fridge, sofa,
and a nice size TV were all in our room. You can adjust the heat to your liking, and for a basement it was toasty warm. They just ask you turn it off when you leave for the day. The room heats up pretty quick though when you turn it back on.
There were bookshelves that lined one side of the wall containing board games, books, tea, water bottles, and granola bars. It was wonderful having an electric tea kettle on top of our fridge. We had apple and earl grey tea in the morning before we set off to be touristy. That was really nice to have. They also have small garden and outdoor space in the back which would be great to hang out in during the warmer months.
The ceilings are a bit low, so if your on the tall side you may want to consider that. The only thing I recommend would be a full length mirror in the main area.
The size of the room was great, and the price was perfect for our budget. Jonathan and Erin were wonderful hosts and very quick to answer your questions. They were always available to us via messenger.
Eating wise. There are several small eateries close to the neighborhood. My husband and I had dinner at Thai Orchid’s Kitchen in Pennsylvania. We highly recommend it. Great food and not too expensive. Their Thai iced tea was delicious.
There are also lots of places to eat over at Eastern Market, which is one stop away from Potomac station. We were also able to go to the flea market at Eastern Market. That area was really cool and definitely recommend stopping by and visiting this area.
Would absolutely recommend Jonathan and Erin’s place and wouldn’t hesitate to book here again!
