Place was clean. Contact was easy and hostess gave great information about sights and how to maneuver around town. Parking was easy. Kitchen had whatever you could need for a short stay. I would suggest having blackout curtains on the front windows for when someone sleeps on the fold out couch because the outside lights are very bright. Everything worked. Our trip was amazing. Thank you for a safe, clean place to lay our heads.

Our stay in downtown Washington D.C. was a true delight. Our hosts were gracious and responsive to our questions. They had great suggestions for places to shop and dine. Their knowledge of the area and their historical knowledge of the locations around DC was a nice bonus. Ellen and Bill were a real delight to talk with.The apartment had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. It has a fully equipped kitchen and bath. We enjoyed coffee in the little breakfast nook in the mornings and there was plenty of room to spread out and relax after full days. This was a very comfortable home away from home. We love that the apartment is centrally located within easy reach of all the sights up and down the National Mall. Grocery stores are only a three block walk away. We walked to the Library of Congress, National Museum and National Archives, and on some days picked up e-bikes within two or three blocks of the apartment for quicker treks down the Mall. The neighborhood is very nice, it's cozy and the people were open and friendly. The restauranteurs and staff at the museums and galleries were genuinely happy to host us. D.C. in the Fall was quiet and easy to navigate. Even taking e-bikes on city streets we felt comfortable, relaxed and safe. The motorists were careful to look out for pedestrians and people on bikes.Our hosts, the apartment, and the location have our full recommendation. We are looking forward to booking it again in the future.

Location is absolutely brilliant - a quiet residential street, but 10-15 minutes walk to the Metro, and 30 minutes or so to absolutely anything. The flat was perfect for us as a base. The hosts have really thought of anything you could need - coffee, dishwasher tablets etc - and the kitchen was really well equipped. You could hardly do better.

Home Away from Home

Ellen was awesome to deal with. We had a ton of communication back and forth. She was always on the ball. We love the place. It's truly like a home away from home. It was a very comfortable stay for my two sons (12&9), wife and I. We loved the neighborhood. It is quiet and friendly. Even coming back late at night, we didn't worry. Parking can be a challenge, but we were in a big Nissan Titan truck, and even then, it wasn't that bad. Nearly everything is within 5-15 min walk or drive. All in all, a wonderful stay. We look forward to coming back in the winter, when the heat index isn't 110 degrees! Will definitely stay with Ellen and Bill!

This was our first family trip in a few years. The location is perfect and the apartment is spacious enough for 2 adults and a teen. We were able to order grocery delivery to have breakfast items in the apartment daily. We will for sure stay here again if we return to DC.
