This property is a gem. We traveled here for a reunion weekend with 3 families (6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 one year olds) and could not have asked for a better experience. The hosts were amazing, provided tons of snacks (and with toddlers, you need snacks!), tons of toys, a pack n' play and many other amenities. The location is fantastic. We could not have asked for a better spot for our chaotic, kid-filled weekend!

We had an extended family of seven people, from grandparents to grandkids, stay here for about five days. The property easily accommodated everyone and was very user friendly, with a great kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. The host Anand was a pleasure to work with through the whole process. The location in downtown DC is amazing.
