Bird House in Palisades neighborhood

5 of 5
Submitted: June 4, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
This studio was so charming....exactly as it appears in the photos. It was perfect for my husband and I. It was very clean, tastefully decorated and our host, Mathias, was very courteous and accomodating. We found everything we needed in the kitchen as far as bakeware and utensils. The stove and refrigerator were spotless. We were perfectly happy with this studio...we considered it a great bargain in a wonderful neighborhood that included some charming restaurants and small shops on the block. We felt completely safe. We did not use the Metro so I cannot comment on it. We loved the fact that we had free parking behind the building in the alleyway and again, we felt completely safe with that. I would recommend this studio to any couple with one child (possibly two, but it will be a bit cramped) wanting to visit the D.C. area.

Really pleasant studio

3 of 5
Submitted: May 3, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
This is a truly comfortable and spacious studio and does look like the pictures. The property is well maintained and spotlessly clean. The owner and manager are always available and very helpful.
I highly recommend Bird House to anyone with a car, which you can park directly behind the house. However, we found public transportation options to be stressful. On weekdays the bus, which stops across the street every 20 minutes, usually takes close to 30 minutes to get to the Dupont circle Metro. If you stay on the bus to get within two blocks of the mall museums the ride usually took 45 minutes, and sometimes more if downtown traffic was heavy. Sundays the ride is faster, but the bus only comes every 30 minutes.
