Check in and communication with the owner was very good. Property is extremely convenient and walkable to the metro, however Jean was great and reminded us that the free King st trolley drops you right off and saved us some steps after walking around DC all day. There are also a few very cute ice cream, cookie and breakfast options within a stones throw. Having access to the two parking spots in the back also came in handy.

Stayed with a group of friends over the weekend and enjoyed our time. The location is great with many restaurants and stores within walking distance. The beds were comfortable and the house was kept very clean. Only regret is that we didn’t get to utilize the beautiful patio area due to the cold/rainy weather on our visit.

This historic gem is definitely a GEM! Our family has 6 adults and 2 grandchildren (7-10) and the number of beds/rooms worked perfectly for us. Beds are very comfortable with good mattresses and comfortable bedding. The back patio area was lovely with plenty of seating and access to the back parking area where the guys could throw a football around, then come warm up by the fire pit on the patio. The kitchen had everything we needed to make Christmas cookies with lots of counter space and tools for baking/cooking. A very generous supply with the coffee pods, tea and creamers (which were really appreciated for making morning coffee) as well as paper towels, spices, tp, etc. Easy communication with the hosts kept everything flowing smoothly. The location was great. Easy walk to shops and restaurants, about a block from King St. which was beautiful with the Christmas lights and decorations. It was truly magical. The only thing that could have made it better would have been snow! We would definitely stay at this immaculate, comfortable, well-appointed property again.

This home was absolutely perfect for 4 adults. The location is very walkable to charming Old Town shops and restaurants. The home itself is very much as described. The kitchen is well stocked, living room is spacious and cozy, and the bedrooms are comfortable. 2 parking spots provided directly behind the home made it very easy.Great find and I highly recommend this home.
