We enjoyed our stay and District Cottage was very responsive to our requests. Upon arrival, we asked about wine glasses and they ordered them for delivery that day!
The layout of the space worked very well for us. Bedrooms are all upstairs leaving a nice social area with open layout on the main level. Beds are comfortable and two of the three bedrooms have desks for those who need to get work done. Kitchen worked well. For coffee drinkers, there's a Keurig. There were a few spices and some other basic items, so depending on who stays before you, you may find some starting kitchen supplies.
Whole Foods, Howard University and U Street are less than a mile away. The neighborhood has a mix of older and remodeled homes.
We'd stay again and enjoyed our time in DC.
