This is a quaint little space, but it is the perfect home base when you’re done exploring DC for the day.
The location is fantastic. It is about 15-25 mins drive away from major DC attractions (Arboretum, Smithsonian Museums, etc). The neighborhood is quiet, but it’s not desolate. If you’re looking for nearby eats and shops, this location is about 15 min walk from the main road that has all of that.
The space itself is super polished and clean. The space has upscale and modern furniture and decor, which makes the space feel like a 5-star hotel, but you definitely feel more at home. It feels like a modern and clean home. It is indeed a small space, so I wouldn’t put more than 3-4 persons in here.
The technology is the space is purposeful and appropriate. The Smart TVs (1 in the living room, 1 in the bedroom) feel like something you’d actually use, rather than the feeling like they threw it in there… just because. The modern washer & dryer is a nice addition as well. The kitchenette has what you need, but nothing superfluous. Note that there is no stove, so no cooking. The fridge is a small wine fridge, so if you need something colder or bigger, you’re out of luck.
I was initially worried about street parking in the area, but there is consistently a spot or two right in front of the location. If not, you can turn the corner and there will be spots there. Street parking is totally not an issue. Parking in the provided parking spot was a little tricky. To park in there, you need to enter behind the location via the alleyway and then turn a left. If you have anything significantly larger than a Honda CR-V, you may be in for a tight squeeze.
All in all, my family and I really enjoyed staying here. The hosts are incredibly responsive and hospitable (they have great recommendations for bars, so ask away), and the space itself made us feel at home. When we come back to DC to visit, we’ll be looking forward to staying here again.
