Here's what guests have to say about Chez Aimee:
“Chez Aimee was a fantastic place to stay. The location is superb. My wife was in D.C. on business and I spent the days sight-seeing. The metro is close, making the entire city easily accessible, and the neighborhood dining is world-class. I'll never stay or recommend anywhere else in the DC area. Chez Aimee was perfect!" - Jacob, Bloomington, Indiana.
"Yours is simply the most tastefully and lovingly and exquisitely furnished and romantic condo we have ever experienced. The personal attention that you gave us was unique in our experience, and we have stayed in quite a number of B&Bs over the years. Look for us again next year, we are firmly planning on it!" - Claudia Berg, Altdorf, Germany.

Why the Owner Chose Adams Morgan
Chez Aimee was my home for many years - my friends always loved coming over, and no matter what city I lived in somehow the name 'Chez Aimee' kept popping up. Adams Morgan is my favorite neighborhood in Washington, DC, which is one of my favorite cities in the world. I always want to have a home base here to come back to, and in the meantime, my husband Jeffrey and I live nearby.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
For me, Chez Aimee always brings a sense of peace and relaxation. I love waking up in the morning in the soft velvety 'cave' of the bedroom, and lying there in quiet contemplation. When I am ready, the next best part is making my way to the other world of the living room, which glows with vibrant sunshine streaming through huge windows.
On the weekend, I like to take my coffee perched on the sofa in the window and just watch the kaleidoscope of people and animals (usually dogs) going by. Then I might to meander over and have a nice brunch at Cashion's, and maybe take a walk through Rock Creek Park to the beautiful gardens at Dumbarton Oaks.
The best part? Everything is so close and easy to get to. I can walk to the White House (I walked past it every day on my way to work for many years), visit museums, and hear live music, all without ever needing a car.
Owner's Map of Adams Morgan
Years ago when I graduated from High School, I followed the plan I'd made back in the fourth grade and took off for Paris for a year. I spent the year traveling all over Europe, mostly on my own. I finally went back to the states for college, but couldn't stay away for long; I spent a summer as a shopgirl in Dinant, Belgium and my junior year studying Political Science in Toulouse. Now I run a child advocacy non-profit in Washington, and I am married to a fellow travel-lover. Jeffrey was in the Peace Corps in Honduras and taught English in Chile, and we honeymooned in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.

Our stay was more than we ever expected. The location was perfect, close enough (via the bus) to all the sites, and then the wonderful ambience of the Adams Morgan area when we came back at night. The condo was very cozy with all the amenities that you would ever need. We also appreciated all the written information that is provided at the condo when you arrive. Thank you again for sharing your home. Chris and Sheila

My wife and I Stayed here from July 17-21,2010. Its a great location , easy to get to most of the usual site seeing spots yet far enough out of the way to afford a quiet , safe and interesting local area ( Adams Morgan) The apartment is extremely tasteful in all the little extras that you will appreciate. Very comfortable for a couple or small family. The host is easy to work with and helpful without being intrusive. I believe it is affordable , especially when compared to the nightly rates hotels are charging in the Dc downtown. We would stay again L& K

This was my first time doing anything like this. I found the experience fabulous. Our stay was wonderful. The location was perfect, the property was romantic and clean. It was everything you could ask for, much better than staying at a hotel. I would recommend this place to anyone who was visiting Washington DC. It was perfect! The owner was great. She had a packet of information that answered all your questions about food, travel, and transportation. It just made it so easy for us to get around. This property was outstanding. I would go there again. It was the best and ideally located to everything you could possibly need. A Terrific Place!!!!!!!!!!!

A VERY Clean and Convenient Home Base!

Review Submitted: 06/28/10
My husband and I spent 7 nights in this very lovely condo in the Adams/Morgan neighborhood of DC. We loved the neighborhood as it reminded us of Lincoln Park in Chicago. Lots of decorating touches and comforts were appreciated. This is a lovely old building with wooden floors and wood trim. The bathroom has been completely redone and the bed is comfortable but high off the ground. Amy was so helpful through emails and phone calls and lots of tips on how to make use of public transportation and the neighborhood. It was in the 90's the whole time we were there and the a/c was excellent as was the TV, when I needed to be in and off my feet and out of the heat for a few hours on the oh so comfy sofa! Kitchen is very tiny but sufficient. Many neighborhood restaurants and a Starbucks, CVS Pharmacy, Safeway and McDonalds quite close. We loved having drinks and apps about 5 pm at a Greek sidewalk cafe just steps from the Woodley Park Metro Station. WE also enjoyed dinner there one night as well as at The Heights around the corner on Calvert and Mixtech Mexican food on Columbia. My only caution is that this is not a condo for children and it is a second floor with no elevator.

My husband & I spent 5 nights in this condo and it was wonderful! We were in D.C. for our 30th wedding anniversary. What a delightful place to come back to after busy days of touring the D.C. area, so much better than a hotel room. We drove and parked in the lot a few blocks away, but didn't mind that at all, true city living! Amy was very accomidating and left great directions on where to go and how to get there. We would definitely reccomend this to anyone who wants a place to stay in the D.C. area!

We loved this clean, quiet, and charmingly decorated condo! Very convenient to amenities and attractions, and a short walk to our son's apartment. Even though we only stayed at the condo for a few days, it felt like home.

Your place is such a nicely equipped, neat and tidy, quiet, centrally located warm place and is conveniently located for walking or public transit. I thank you for answering ALL of my emails in a very timely manner; being so helpful; incredibly forthcoming and informative; and most of all for being so nice. And thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment. You are a wonderful and delightful hostess. We actually lived and felt like DC natives with the metro (subway), nightlife, restaurants, grocery store, funky shops and international flavor too right around the corner. We certainly did not need a car and we won’t rent one next time. Chez Aimee is perfectly suited for business travel and/or an enjoyable vacation. Again, thanks.

The host was absolutely charming and accommodating in her efforts to make sure that I felt completely at home. I was traveling alone on business and felt so comforted by the beautiful furnishings and decor of the space! I had never stayed in Adam's Mark before and it was so much fun!!! I would recommend this vacation rental to EVERYBODY who travels to DC. Thank you again for such a great stay!!!
