This is our second stay at Alex’s. He is a great host and very accommodating. We were celebrating two birthdays with some out-of-town family joining our family in DC. Everyone was comfortable and felt right at home. The weather turned warm enough for us to even use the outdoor grill. We did have to move a few items out of the reach of our three-year-old granddaughter but that was a minor issue and more due to her curiosity and our innate caution. Being near the U Street corridor gave us access to great restaurants. On weekends there is noise from the street as people make their way home, but I’m not sure what anyone can do about that. We will happily come back again.
