Great Rental for Family Christmas in DC
House is well designed, spotlessly clean, and has great hosts. Stephen and Ivan were easy to reach and always helpful. Plenty of room for the 7 family members to spread out, relax, and enjoy each other's company. The already decorated Christmas Tree was icing on the cake.

Our family of 6 stayed at this property for our visit to DC and it was the perfect place for our stay! We were close to all the main sites with the National Mall and museums a very quick Uber ride away. We walked to dinner almost every night. We had made reservations in advance using the home address and there were plenty of great places to eat within a 15 min or less walk. Lots of shops and places to eat were within 2 blocks. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Great Location. Lots of Stairs. Not for those with ADA needs.
Great property in the Shaw neighborhood. Main issue was ADA accessibility of property. There are LOTS of stairs for those with mobility issues. Stairs to enter property and stairs to go to any bedroom. It would be helpful to have clearly stated that although this property is in a great central location, it is not for the elderly, canes, crutches, or any other mobility issue. There are no bedrooms nor full baths on any main level.
