The quick review: 5 stars… spacious, clean, comfortable, eclectic, historical, close to top tier restaurants/coffee shop, beds comfortable, never ending hot water, AC rocked. Robert was very responsive and super helpful even with our obscure questions like “where’s the best place to go pet dogs?”

Robert’s Aitbnb felt cozy and comfortable: southern hospitality meets DC historical charm with prints of Michelle Obama, JFK jr. and Jesus Christ. No need to bring books, he’s got a huge collection to choose from anywhere from the classics (hobbit, lord of the rings) to dozens of lonely planet pocket books to law books to bibles to the girl with a dragon tattoo to Sedaris.
House was constructed with my tall family in mind; 15+ ft ceilings, tall shower heads, oversized RH bath towels and the most perfect deep seat reading chair where my husband spent hours finishing Nightingale. For the tech geeks, WIFI clocked download at 404 MBps: upload at 427 MBps (gotta love fiber!) easy to zoom-work as needed. Big flat screen TV with lots of viewing options perfect for watching Wimbledon. Everything worked: washer/dryer, dishwasher, WiFi, AC, hot water, TV. The only thing missing would’ve been a golden retriever sleeping at our feet :)
House probably not well suited for toddlers as there’s lots of glass trinkets accessible at toddler level. Walking distance from some of the best restaurants (Le Dip, Pearl Dive, etc.), a Trader Joe’s and a top notch Bluestone Lane coffee. Perfect place for our family of 4…we hope to come back again soon!
