Excellent!
Needed a place for landing between hill meetings for a week. This place was amazing! Plenty of room, spotless, great amenities including actual glass wine glasses (it’s crazy some DC places don’t have them!). Less than two miles from the hill. Looks as advertised - maybe even better! Kitchen is a great social meeting place. Tons of natural light - will definitely book here on my next DC trip if it’s available!

very nice property...
The townhouse was beautiful and had everything we needed. Met an old friend of mine with his sons and me and my two boys. It was nice to have a central living room and dining room where we could all hang out.

Family vacation
We had a wonderful time in DC. Used the metro to get around to see all the monuments along with the White House. We ate at some amazing restaurants, one was just a short walk from the house. A small pizzeria that was amazing!
The house was wonderful, very clean, spacious and nicely furnished, along with all the amenities you would ever need. Thank you for helping make our trip a memorable one!
