We had three generations visiting from Australia to see family members living in Washington. Maj's home felt like our home when we returned at the end of the day, or had our Washington family in to visit us. It had that comfortable feel, with interesting and eclectic appointments, without being too fussy or "precious". The dining table was great, seating 10, we enjoyed the sound system and we kept up with our favourite Netflix programs. Barring a microwave, the kitchen has everything we needed, and we used the BBQ on the back deck for steaks, sausages and hamburgers. Mount Pleasant has an interesting selection of restaurants, a great ice cream shop, and is very convenient for trips to the Mall, the Smithsonian and the other attractions of Washington. We recommend Maj's house for family looking for a comfortable and interesting place to stay in DC.
