Our group consisted of 5 adults and 3 kids ages 10-16, and this house met our needs. The kitchen was well equipped for what we wanted to cook and the rooms were such that we could all be together or spread out depending moods and activities at the time. We relied almost entirely on Metro for transportation, so the ~5-minute walk to the Metrorail station was a definite plus. We didn't even have to change trains to go between the DCA airport and the house. A minor, for us, downside was that there is not much to do in the neighborhood right around the house. Our host, Alana, was always quick to respond to our questions and accommodating to a couple of special requests.
