Dale and Morgan’s home, and the Airbnb listing for the garden level apartment in their historic townhouse, far exceeded our expectations.
The exterior of the townhouse is accurately restored to its original, Victorian-era grandeur, and includes two outdoor patio areas for guests’ use, which are expertly and beautifully landscaped.
The interior of the garden level apartment appears to have been, essentially, rebuilt from the studs up. Its design incorporates a modern aesthetic with an emphasis on functionality and comfort. It was, of course, spotlessly clean and showed zero outward signs of wear and tear from previous guests’ use.
Further, it was very obvious to us that no expense was spared in the restoration of the apartment, down to the smallest details.
By way of example, the bathroom and kitchen faucets all had that high-end, heavy/solid feel to them, and all appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, stove/oven unit, television, washer/dryer, etc.) appeared to be brand new and were the highest-end appliance brands (Bosch, Blomberg, etc.).
The location of the home is perfect; sufficiently far away from the downtown area to avoid much of the traffic, congestion, and petty crime that occurs down there, yet close enough to the major attractions (White House, SCOTUS, National Zoo etc.) to walk to them on foot. The surrounding neighborhood is fairly quaint, but still has excellent dining options and a lively nighttime bar scene.
Lastly, Dale and Morgan were phenomenal hosts. They were welcoming, gracious, attentive, and very knowledgeable of all aspects of DC. They always sought to ensure that we were comfortable and pleased with our accommodations throughout our entire stay.
We, without a doubt, would stay here again on any subsequent trip to DC, and we highly recommend this listing to all persons considering it.
