Very Comfortable Place
Review Submitted: January 29, 2009
Date of Stay: January 2009
"Five of us stayed for the week of the inaguration,and we had a great time. Adam thought we would really need a car, but we didn't. The public transportation system is fabulous. A bus stops right around the corner and it
can take you right to the Fort Totten metro station in a matter of minutes. The metro itself can get you close to almost anything in the city. We found cabs
rather easily, and the cost was not outrageous at all. And if you want to day trip out, you can always rent a Zip car for a day or so.
The house is very roomy and can easily handle a large group getting ready to go someplace. The bathroom downstairs can be very cold in the winter and it is
difficult to warm up without a space heater. If this is an issue for you, Adam will take care of it.
Adam lives downstairs so he is very available to offer any assistance that is needed. He really is dedicated to making sure his guests have a good time.
Probably the only drawback is that there aren't any nice restaurants in the area that you can walk to for meals. We learned to eat in town while we were out and
then ordered pizza and sandwiches to be delivered at night.
The neighborhood might give you the wrong impression at first, but we never had any problems. We really never felt unsafe, but you should know this is the situation so you are not overly concerned when you get there.
We would definitely stay there again when we return to D.C."
Owner's Response: We would like to thank this party for staying at Adam's Eden during such a historical moment. We also are so proud of their appreciation of the service rendered. Indeed, and upon inquiring on how they were doing, we learned that one of the three bathrooms was cold, even the whole house (according to one of the guests ). We made sure to fix the issue on the spot, (we realized that the temperature set was rather low) by setting the temperature higher, and by immediately providing a heater. By the time we brought the heater, it already felt fine and we felt very happy after confirming with all guests. A heater is available as a precaution. We really want to make sure that everything is perfect 24 hours a day.and we appreciate that guests let us know of any concern before we inquire, in order to correct any possible inconvenience. We always instruct our guests that they should not hesitate to ask because we sincerely don't mind at all responding to any request.
We are so thankful that they found the transportation system to be fabulous, confirming our response to a previous guest. However a car is convenient, (not necessary to visit the mall and most touristic attractions), if one wants to visit non-metro accessible attractions or dining in different places in the shortest possible time.
We would like to point out that there is one restaurant at walking distance and those guests who tried it and myself found it to be excellent. Other restaurants as well as Target, Best buy,etc, are within 2 easy miles from the house.
Finally, we are so grateful that they all had a great time in this home and by feeling comfortable walking in the neighborhood, even at very late hours.
Thanks Bonnie
