Great Vacation House
This beautiful house was exactly as described in the listing. The decor throughout was lovely and the beds were very comfortable. We felt so welcome and comfortable during our stay. The homeowner made sure the kitchen had all the appliances, cookware, glassware, utensils, etc. needed to prepare and enjoy our meals. Plus we were close to many local DC attractions. My family and I especially enjoyed the backyard pool. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property
Wonderful spacious and modern family friendly home in tucked away neighborhood - perfect for our extended family visit to DC. Paola was wonderful and quick to respond to our needs. The house came well appointed with thoughtful additions, like plenty of paper towels! Would recommend.
