Our family of 3 adults and 4 children stayed here and would highly recommend it. The beds were comfortable, the home was well-stocked with kitchen tools, and the "attic" upstairs had many toys and games to keep the kids occupied during our down-time. The home is lovely, with many books to enjoy (both children and adult). The neighborhood is very walkable (we visited the zoo a few times, walked to the subway almost every day, and enjoyed exploring area). There are many local and chain shops/restaurants nearby. The closest shopping area is more local - ethnic restaurants and small family-owned shops. Near the subway station (about 1/2 mile) you will find many chain stores/restaurants. The nearest grocery store was too far for us to stock up at (about 1/2 mile), so we had groceries delivered the day we arrived (just a tip for others in the same boat). Maj had the place well-stocked with shampoo/conditioner/body wash, cleaning supplies and paper goods. We would absolutely stay here again if we're ever back in D.C.
