After our California vacation plans fell through, we were looking for a drivable second resort that could give us some of what we’d hoped to find out west - warmth, good food, and comfort. We were lucky enough to stumble upon Susan and Phil’s bed and breakfast, and found all three qualities, in abundance, in the home and its caretakers. Everything about the experience - the jazz wafting gently through the house, the decor that beautifully mingles Victorian design with towering houseplants, the fruit cocktail and good company that await you each morning -
gives the feeling of home, even when exploring a new city. The location is also ideal, within walking distance of both metro and bus stops, but far enough removed from the city to ensure a quiet and peaceful night’s sleep. I could go on, but suffice to say that if you’re planning a trip to DC, Susan and Phil’s home should be top two on your list for places to stay (and it shouldn’t be number two).
