Woodley Park Vacation Rental apartment

We stayed here in March for Spring Break with our 2 kids ages 7 and 9. It was just the perfect spot for all our sight-seeing activities. Everything you need is in the neighborhood and did I mention the zoo and pandas are 2 blocks away?!! The apartment was spotless and perfect for our family. We will definately come back again.

I stayed here with husband, doing work for Obama's transition team, and two small kids, for a week. Hubby went to work most mornings and I saw the sights with the kids. Superb location, very close walking distance to desirable metro line, zoo, and a Starbucks (mission critical). English basement style apartment was bright and clean, with spacious rooms, full eat-in kitchen, and two full beds. One drawback was some noise from owners' apartment above in evenings, but, having two kids, I'm sure we made plenty of our own. Owners were very accomodating and helpful. Overall, a very convenient and affordable way to spend a week in Washington with two small kids.

There were four of us staying at the aprtment (July 1 - 8, 2008. Very peaceful, modern, clean apartment and only two blocks away from the metro line which was a must for us as we had no car. This apartment was a nice place to rest during our numerous site seeing journeys. Rikki made sure that we were well taken care of by stocking the bathroom cabinet with all the essentials in case you forgot to pack some personal items such as shampoo, toothpaste, razors, etc. She also had an ample supply of brochures that give visitors a good understanding of the services available in the area as well as maps and related items that fully describe our nations capitol and surrounding points of interest. She did all this despite being very busy with her own family. The apartment is the place to stay if you desire a safe neighborhood and a peaceful easy feeling that surrounds the Woodley Park. Our favorite restaurant (Open City Coffee House) is very close to the Woodley Park/Zoo metro stop. Good value/good service just like the apartment. Buses and taxis are readily available from the nearby Wardman Marriot or Omni Shoreman should the metro line shedule not quite fit your arrival or departure schedules to the local airports. On a personal note one night we walked from the Rosslyn/Key Bridge to Georgetown for dinner and a movie and walked “home” via Wisconsin Avenue to Connecticut Avenue back to the apartment. On the 4th we walked from Rosslyn to the WWII Memorial via the Memorial Bridge to watch the fireworks from there. The hikes were long but the time together gave us plenty of opportunity to bond as a family as typically happens when the experience is so positive in so many ways. Two many to list but you'll understand if you stay here. Our visit to D.C. exceeded our high expectations and we‘ll be back. Thanks Rikki! We wish you and your family the best and remember Jeremiah 29:11. Rod, Linda, Lauren & Andrew
