Our stay at Tommy and Tony's home was very comfortable and I would highly recommend it, especially for female travellers. As two women, we felt safe during our four-night stay. Additionally, the main entrance and room doors were locked by a code that ensured our belongings were secure.
The bed was very comfy, air conditioner in the room kept us cool, there was plenty of hot water in the shower, room was clean, well-equipped with a microwave, fridge, towels and strong wifi, all of which were plus points for us. We interacted with Tony for a majority of our stay and he guided us to some great dining spots.
The house itself is set in a good location; few blocks away from Dupont Circle metro station and in a quiet neighbourhood. But mind you, the room itself is located on the second floor (that's ground floor, first floor then second floor).
The only downside here was that the staircase was a bit creaky and narrow, so carrying a big suitcase up and down two flights of stairs while taking into consideration the hosts' request to avoid scratching the floors was a bit challenging, but nothing too serious to take away the positive aspects of our stay. In fact, I appreciate Tommy and Tony's expectations of having guests maintain cleanliness and hygiene.
We did not access any of the decks as we spent long hours outdoors but the area looked like a great spot to relax and mingle with others.
Tony and Tommy, thank you for hosting us and becoming a part of our DC memories. Till next time!
