Irvin's place was perfect for my mother and I to stay at during our first trip to the West Coast. We are from a very small town, so we loved that Irvin's home was located outside of the hustle and bustle of the city center in a safe and relatively quiet area. We loved the proximity to everything--just a short walk down to the water, and a quick drive into the city to hit all of the main attractions. Irvin's home was clean and had everything we needed, and he was a great host--even leaving the lights on for us as we arrived late at night after a long day of traveling. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay for people looking to experience Washington from the comfort of the suburbs.
