Our stay at the Dream loft, quiet in the city was absolutely perfect! Grace and her husband were incredibly gracious and flexible (even when we showed up quite early for check in after I misread an email, they were completely accommodating). They gave us a number of restaurant recommendations, which proved to be top notch, and information about the neighborhood. They had even picked up a few basic groceries to make sure we had a little something to get us started!

The pictures are an accurate representation of the beautiful loft, which had tons of character with really beautiful luxury appliances. Clearly, Grace and her husband take a lot of pride in the loft and the space they offer their guests. When we arrived, they were rushing to make sure the couch was professionally cleaned for us, as the guests who checked out that morning had spilled on it (it was a minor spill that I'm quite convinced a lot of hosts would have left). The entire loft was extremely clean. The location is just a few blocks from the metro, restaurants, and Target. There were also a number of grocery store options in the area as well. For simplicity, we took a number of taxi rides around the District from the loft that were really reasonably priced. Everything seemed to be less than a $10 taxi ride away.

A few quirks/tips: You can hear the upstairs apartment through the ceiling. It wasn't much of a problem, except for one evening it was a bit louder and later than the other nights. We turned on the central fan while sleeping, which completely tuned out any noise. I'm sure a "fan" app on a smartphone could also do the job. Also, the first night we stayed, there was a light on in a ceiling cubby in the master bedroom that I couldn't figure out how to turn off. I discovered the light switch is in the hallway, right outside of the master bedroom.

Overall, it was such a good stay and I would not hesitate to stay there again or refer a friend! Not only were our hosts great, but the loft itself was simply gorgeous. I even snapped a few inspirational pictures for our own kitchen remodel!
