A true home away from home

We spent a week this past July in the Cottage and had a great time. We felt comfortable enough to ask Jack for suggestions on eating out or anything really, but he was never intrusive during our stay. Everything we needed was easily accessible and very hotel-like. Upon our arrival we found a welcome binder with maps, metro info, local eatery menus, information for tourists on local attractions, etc. It had everything you needed to have a great time during our stay. I definitely recommend the cottage just as much as I would a hotel! You have everything from a full kitchen to an outside patio with a grill for barbecues at a much more affordable price than a hotel, which the cottage is definitely comparable to if not better. The cottage is only minutes away (walking distance) from the metro that takes you into DC and the famous King Street that offers dining, shopping, and entertainment for all ages. When they say everything is bigger in Texas, it is no understatement, but staying at the cottage with all it's charm in such a beautiful and historic neighborhood, gave us a more authentic experience of colonial times. My only concern would be the bed, which was a little uncomfortable at times, but what I hear from Jack he was expecting a new one soon and the bathroom, which seemed perfectly fine to us, will be upgraded soon, and since it's taking me so long to post this review, it probably already has!! Should we ever go back to the DC area, the Cottage will be our first choice!!!
