When our friends ask "How was D.C.?", we start off talking about Kate and Zack's accommodations! If you are thinking of visiting DC, Kate and Zack's place needs to be your home base. Not only is it located in the heart of a historic neighborhood, but Kate and Zack have thought of everything for your stay. It's designed very efficient and the beds are comfy. There is a full washer and dryer and the shower beats so many we've seen in other accommodations(including hotels). The kitchenette is enough because the neighborhood's eclectic dining experiences are just a 5 or 10 minute walk from your new D.C. "home base".
Our family of four was comfortable with the twin bunk beds and queen just fine, though! They also have a fold-out futon and air mattress available-- just in case you aren't comfy enough!
We walked easily to the Metro. We parked our car on street but had, no problem with keeping a spot right out in front!
Petworth enjoys a really low crime rate, but we brought our belongings in from our 2 week car trip just to be sure. The basement space accommodated!
We walked to dinner and breakfast and spent lots of time enjoying architecture of row homes from 100 years ago. Not to mention finding all the unique little things about DC's neighborhoods like meditation parks and old firehouse phone boxes! Kate and Zack's basement apartment accommodation is really why we want to come back to DC. It made our trip with our kids ages 7 and 10 the most enjoyable.
