We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Russell's! The location was great- close to all the places we wanted to stay, but still quiet and homey feeling. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house itself was very clean and well-kept. The only issue we had was that it did get a little warm upstairs at night, but we like a cool house at night, so this is just personal opinion. All three bedrooms are upstairs with one bathroom upstairs, and the second bathroom is downstairs off the kitchen by the laundry room, so if you have a house-full, you'll need to keep in mind that someone may need to use the downstairs bathroom. We had one cool night where we got to enjoy the fire pit on the back patio, which was a nice bonus.
There are a few good restaurants and bars within walking distance, as well as a small grocery store about a block or two away, so that was convenient. There's a little alley on the side of the house and a spot out front of the house that served as good pick-up and drop-off areas for Uber. Parking IS an issue though, so if you have a car, be prepared for that.
Russell was a great communicator and responded back to us quickly when we had questions. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and make our trip special and our stay easy.
All in all, we felt like it was a perfect place to stay and will think of Russell again in the future when we return to DC!
