Beautifully restored 19th century town home in a terrific location. Two blocks from the Braddock Road Metro station for quick and easy trips into the museums and night life of Washington DC; no car is necessary. The two story brick home has two bedrooms and will comfortably sleep four (five if the convertible sofa is utilized). The newly renovated kitchen is spacious and inviting and open to the family room. We have original hardwood floors throughout and a cleaning service to make sure the home is clean and welcoming upon your arrival. A large porch overlooks a nice yard with a large tree and swing; perfect for quiet mornings before a bustling day of touring all that the area has to offer.
As close as we are to DC, Georgetown, DuPont Circle and cultural Adams Morgan; Old Town Alexandria is even closer. Steeped in colonial American history; Old Town is a small city with so much to offer. Visit Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington as well as one of the oldest American Seaport towns with galleries, great restaurants and shopping. Five minutes from Ronald Reagan National Airport by train or taxi.

My husband and two teenaged sons stayed at The Hobby House for one week in June 2011. Though I am from the area and still have friends there, the main attraction was the history and sites of DC. The home was very comfortable. Our rental car fit in the garage (and only came out twice during the whole trip) and friends who visited us easily found street parking. The sleeping arrangements worked perfectly for us and we found everything we needed. Wireless worked which helped with keeping up with a few work tasks and we spent the mornings and evenings on the cool and quiet porch swing. BUT the biggest plus was the location! We walked to the Metro station two short blocks away and made our way to museums and memorials, the Zoo and the Kennedy Center and even explored a couple of DC neighborhoods all through the wonderful public transportation system. The added treat was downtown Old Alexandria. Great food and shops! Starbucks. A free trolley. It couldn't have been more perfect! We even took a boat ride from the Old Town dock (walking distance from the house or just make it down to King St and grab the trolley) to the National Harbor and Mount Vernon. My kids said this was the trip of a lifetime and it was made possible with this great rental selection! I couldn't recommend it more highly and hope there is a vacancy next time we visit the area.
Owner response:Thanks Stacy; we so enjoy receiving feedback on our property. We definitely hope you'll stay with us again on any future trips to DC!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.
