We loved our stay in DC! Their place truly was Charming, as the ad says. When we arrived, we had a parking pass waiting for us and a nice, cold apartment to walk into (as it was quite hot outside). There is a completely separate Central AC unit for the apartment, which was awesome. We are from Florida, so we love our AC! It was the perfect size for our family of five! The separate bedroom away from the kids was a luxury, considering we are used to sleeping in hotel rooms. It gave us a chance to unwind away from them. I was extremely excited that a washer and dryer was provided! It was so nice to go home with clean clothes.

My kids loved the Board Games under the TV. They spent all morning playing games (Not the VIDEO kind, for once). They also provided flash cards of 100 different things to do with children, in DC. The only suggestion I have, in respect to the kiddos is to put a gripper in the bottom of the tub, as it was a little slippery for them. I could tell that they felt completely at home.

We were able to cook breakfast every morning enable us to save money and satisfy everyone’s appetites. It was also nice having a full size refrigerator and being able to come “home” to a chilled bottle of wine. There was plenty of coffee provided. My husband was spoiled by the Keurig .

The location was GREAT!! We signed up for Lyft (like Uber) while we were there. They gave us 10-$5 off each ride coupons to apply to our rides. We never paid more than $3.00 to get anywhere. We utilized the Circulator over any of the double decker buses. They run more frequently and more stops throughout the “mall” area. Their fare cards were cheap ($1.00) and we could also use them for the Metro. We went to H Street one night, which looked fun for the night time (without kids) and also went to the Eastern Market, which had tons of restaurants. We walked to H Street (About 1.5 miles away) and took a Lyft to the Eastern Market. The last night we were fortunate to have a date night and went to Georgetown. We took a Lyft to the Eastern Market Metro Station, costing us less than $3.00. The location is perfect for whatever you plan to do in the city.

The bottom line is hotels are expensive in the city and you have to eat out the entire time. This was much more affordable, comfortable and just as close. When traveling with little ones, this is the way to go! Thanks for making our experience a great one.
