What an adorable and comfy home! We had everything we needed to cook meals and the outdoor spaces were awesome for hanging out. We loved the arts and craft supplies the host provided, the bath/soaking supplies at the end of a long day of walking, and the beautiful artwork around the home was a real treat. The neighbors and neighborhood were quiet and friendly. I hope to be back in DC soon and will absolutely try to book this home again.
