A wonderful place to stay

Our troop had been planning and fundraising for our trip to DC for three years. When looking for a rental property this one seemed perfect for location, ease of access to metrorail, size, and our budget. The owners were amazing resources prior to our visit and answered tons of questions. But our stay far exceeded our expectations -- very comfortable sleeping/living space for six teenaged girls and three chaperone moms, ideal 'hanging-out' room with comfy couches and TV/DVD/stereo, computer for quick updates with friends at home and to do research on all the places we were going to visit, generosity of the owners to get us from/to Union Station and a grocery store, handy laundry facilities, and much more! This was a one-in-a-lifetime experience for us all!

Only two requests would be to have more hanging options in bathrooms/adjoining rooms for wet towels and space for putting cosmetic bags, especially downstairs.

We recently has the pleasure of staying in this residence. It is centrally located in a very nice neighbourhood. The house is well furnished, spacious and comfortable. Its finished basement with leather couches and a large screen TV was a huge hit with our teenage sons. The owner is conveniently located across the street and was quite hospitable and accomodating to our needs.

We had a pleasant stay at this property. Kids enjoyed the flat screen tv / cable. Property was clean and well maintained and owner stays right across and is very hospitable. He was very accommodating and helpful. The metro is around 6 blocks, if you have seniors with you it'll be quite a walk and maybe look into taking metro bus which is right round the corner. Garage parking is kinda tight for 2 cars but owner was very helpful in letting us park one car in his driveway. Overall good value for your money.

I did not find a coffee shop close by if you love your early morning coffee you're better off making it in house

Our family traveled to DC for National Police Week and we were very satisfied with our choice of where to stay. The only negative would be that two of the bedrooms were quite small, but as this is an older home, that should have been expected. The neighborhood was lovely, the location absolutely perfect with easy access to the Metro and all attractions. The owners were extremely hospitable and went above and beyond the call to take good care of us. I would recommend this home as an excellent value, and we found it to be very comfortable...great beds, baths, kitchen. Our stay was much enjoyed.

My extended family (9 people in all) and I stayed at this home for a week in mid April. We were very pleased with the property and felt we were getting a great value for the money.
* The owner lives right across the street & was very accomodating & available without feeling too intrusive.
* The property has a lot of space & it was great to feel like we could spread out. It is an older, renovated home so the flow of the rooms is not what you'd find in a typical, modern home. There are multiple, smaller rooms as opposed to less, large rooms. There are very nice, large tv's in all the bedrooms, but no tv in a living room. However, the home had a lot of character & charm and we appreciated the overall feel.
* I agree with the previous reviewer that the basement should be reconfigured to put the bed in the back and to move all the couches to the front by the t.v. in order to create a media room feel.
* The kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of nice linens. Dishwashing soap, laundry supplies, maps & guidebooks were provided.
* The house is a short walk to the metro (probably about 5 - 6 blocks). Although, we didn't take it, there is a bus stop just a few houses down. We drove to a nice grocery store that was just about a mile & a half away. We felt that we were conveniently located to everything we needed.
* The only real problem we had was with the garage. Garage parking was definitely nice as I know a lot of rentals don't have that. We felt our cars were secure while in the garage. We had two cars that are both quite wide & low to the ground. Both cars fit in the garage, but with just inches to spare on each side. We had to load & unload passengers and luggage in the alley outside of the garage. The biggest problem though, was that our cars consistently scraped their undercarriages (in a big way) when going into the garage as there is a bit of an incline. I don't think this would have happened on vehicles a little higher off the ground, but for us it was significant as parking and pulling out became quite a hassle as we tried to eliminate damage to the engines. Again our cars sit really low. If you have a similar car, I'd suggest taking another vehicle if possible.
* All in all we really enjoyed our stay. We had 3 families (including 3 very active children) and we had plenty of room. The house was clean & the owner very eager to make us happy. The price was extremely reasonable. We would definitely stay there again!
