We arrived at The Monroe House and were a little confused by the cars in the driveway, but quickly found out they belong to the homeowner and the house was ready for us. The location is super convenient. An easy walk to the Metro, plenty of food choices within walking distance nearby. The kitchen is very well stocked with what you need. There is a grocery store about a mile and a half away if you want to stock up on real groceries, but we just used the CVS around the corner. My only complaints are Monroe street is a busy, therefore, loud street, but that's not a negative on the house, and I would have liked some thicker curtains in the master bedroom b/c it gets bright very early. That being said, the house is fantastic. We didn't get to use the outside accommodations, but if you stay here and have the opportunity to do so I think it would be very relaxing. Having the laundry in the basement was super convenient, also. The AC units keep the house very cool, which is nice after walking back from the Metro in the DC heat. The owner is very friendly and the nearby caretaker is super helpful. She came over and offered us some tips about the neighborhood and city. I highly recommend this house.
