We're a family of four with two 6 y/o boys. This was the perfect location for us. We were looking for something comfortable for 4, kid-friendly, close to the Metro, with easy walking access to dining and shopping, and this fit the bill. We couldn't have been more pleased. Lexie and Graham were available for any needs while we were there, but the place was so well set up that we literally had no needs to speak of. They provided a small bulletin board with Metro info and other useful tips, and there were even toiletries in the bathroom and some staples in the kitchen. At night the neighborhood was quiet and the beds were comfortable. We felt safe with our kids, and even did a little Geocaching in the area.

Our boys told us it was the best vacation ever, and this flat was definitely a part of that. The drum kit was a hit, no pun intended, along with the guitars and other instruments. A wonderful perk for musically-inclined families. And there was even a basket with a few toys in it, which the kids were so happy to find after the long drive.

For anyone traveling in the summer, the AC was excellent, even on days when the heat index was as high as 103. One word of warning: apparently there's a street cleaning ordinance and we ended up with a parking ticket on Tuesday for parking on the wrong side of the street (inexpensive, no big deal). So make sure to ask Lexie and Graham upon arrival whether your car can stay parked where it is!

If your goal is to see the DC sights I recommend downloading the Metro mobile app, wearing some good walking shoes, and renting this flat. You'll have a great stay.
