We loved this DC hideaway. It’s the basement apartment of a historic row house, and there is no better way to experience Washington than one of these historic neighborhoods. The age of the home naturally means it has some quirks such as doors that don’t shut perfectly, but are well worth overlooking to stay in such a beautiful colonial setting. Despite its age, the apartment is sparkling clean. We had a slight problem with the air bed, but communication was excellent and it was promptly fixed. We stayed with our 4 kids and brought an extra twin air bed, and we were snug but very comfortable. The area is surprisingly quiet given its proximity to the National Mall. We were not bothered by noise at all, and the area felt very safe. There were lots of thoughtful touches designed to make guests (including kids) feel welcome. A reasonable walk to both the National Mall and Union Station Metro. This is the place to get for a true DC experience. We will definitely stay again!
