First know that Brad is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He has put time and care into his beautiful home and this labor of love deserves respect from all his guests and sincere appreciation for his decision to share it with us. The bedroom suite is straight out of a Hollywood set and that rain shower is crazy great! We made time one afternoon to simply enjoy sitting on his back deck in the autumn sun. The neighborhood is unbelievably quiet and it is worth taking time for a stroll to see this historic district of early 1900’s homes.
Brad’s is a two block walk from Ellé, an absolute fantastic coffee shop/café (Stumptown Coffee) on 17th favored by locals. If you are up for a morning jog, head down 17th Street to Piney Branch which takes you to the fabulous running trails (choice of paved and off-road) in Rock Creek State Park just minutes away. As other guests have mentioned, you are within easy walking distance to the yellow/green line on the Metro and Lyft/Uber is everywhere.
The only reason for four stars instead of five is that Brad is awaiting approval for the installation of a rooftop solar panel system and with the season’s first cold snap, it was initially chilly on the third floor. Brad quickly remedied the situation with a space heater and it remained comfortable for the rest of our stay.
Thank you Brad!
