Pia and Ben's place worked out perfectly for family of 4's Spring Break trip to DC! Pia was a very attentive hostess and helped us with our check in, as well as texted a couple of times to make sure our trip was going well.
Their space is very stylishly decorated and clean. They have added a lot of extra touches - a book with TONs of information on DC, transit information, Metro cards, places to visit, etc. It was an added bonus finding out that the H St. Street Car was practically just out the door. It worked out perfectly for our family to take the FREE street car to Union Station and then hop on the Metro to any attractions. We did utilize Pia and Ben's street parking permit and we parked our car the first evening we arrived and did not use it the rest of the week. Parking was a bit tricky on the Saturday night we arrived, but we were able to snag a spot without a problem a bit later in the evening. There was plenty of other open parking on their street throughout the week.
I liked that Pia had the laundry area and bathroom stocked with essentials you might not think of when packing - q-tips, detergent, sun screen, etc. These touches show hosts that think about their guests :o)
Overall our family enjoyed our stay. Our kids liked eateries around the corner - small Mexican place had great take out, Insomnia cookies were yummy, and Bull Frog bagels was great for in the mornings.
Thank you again, Pia and Ben!
