This is truly a gem of a spot, and Jose and Victoria are so generous to share it with guests.
Their place is beautiful, very clean, and an ideal residence for any guests—particularly those traveling with pups. The bed and room was a nice sleep, as was the pull out couch where one of us slept. As three adults and two dogs, we felt very comfortable! The bathroom was great, sparkling, and had nice water pressure. Jose and Victoria go out of their way to provide soap, and toiletries, and snacks too. The kitchen was a great size, and all the amenities were provided.
As for location, I’ve been an in and out resident of the District for almost a decade and I think there is no better area to stay than Columbia Heights/Petworth. This place is around the corner from several great restaurants and spots to hang out all within a five minute walk, including a great coffee shop and small eatery that is among the best in the City. (The Coupe) If you want Ethiopian, Salvadorian, Thai, Cuban, Vietnamese, or Malaysian food, this area has it all. If you left anything being, Target, a grocery store, and other major retail stores are within a 15 minute walk.
There is access to two metro stations both on the Yellow line that takes you straight to DCA.
There is much to say about how wonderful this spot is, but what really seals the deal was the communication and care from the hosts. Jose was a wonderful communicator the entire trip, and was always a message away.
We are thankful for our stay, and are already excited to come back!
