We're a family of five and Kelly's place offers just what we need and more: a small, cozy home in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood, literally steps away from Eastern Market Station where we can take the train to every attraction (or you can just walk - the Capitol is an 18 minute walk away!), Eastern Market where you can get fresh food everyday (there's a Farmer's Market outdoor every Tuesday where we get the best and freshest kale for 3 dollars a bunch) and 8th St SE, where you can find countless restaurants and Yes! Organic store - our favorite (got my vegan ice cream there!).
We recommend Tortilla Cafe (near Eastern Market) and Chiko (on 8th St SE) - great food and great value for money.
Kelly and Jack are the nicest host and are right upstairs and a text away if you need help with anything. We really appreciate the small touches like five Smart Cards for our family of five (Kelly and Jack even threw in a few dollars of credit each, thank you!), coffee pods for our caffeine fix, detailed instructions and notes everywhere...
Even though we only have 3 days and 2 nights at Washington DC, we had a really good time and was able to visit both the major attractions and enjoy hidden charms of local DC life thanks to the opportunity to stay at Kelly and Jack's home.
