We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hugh’s home! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described—if not better. The space was comfortable, welcoming, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit.The only thing we missed was having a full kitchen. Since we were traveling with senior parents and young children under 12, it would have been nice to prepare some homemade meals. That said, the setup was still incredibly comfortable and well-equipped for our needs.Hugh was a responsive and thoughtful host—always quick to reply and genuinely invested in making our stay a great one. His hospitality really stood out.The location was perfect—peaceful and private, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore. It was the ideal spot to unwind and spend quality time together.We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Hugh’s place to anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and well-managed getaway. Thank you, Hugh, for sharing your lovely home with us!

hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood and close to down DC!
My family had a great time staying at Hugh's lovely place. Hugh is very warm, responsive and friendly. The rooms are quiet, clean and spacious with excellent noise insulation between rooms. Both my husband and I had worked remotely during our stay and this is a huge plus for us when we had meetings in separate rooms! Highly recommended to someone who are traveling to DC area and considering a family-oriented and safe neighborhood.

A Great Place In A Quiet Neighborhood
This place was exactly what our family needed for our vacation. Hugh was a great host and provided a lot of good tips on places to eat, things to do, and navigating the surrounding area. It was clean and comfortable with king beds that I wish I had at home. The water pressure in the shower was amazing, and there was plenty of AC and drinking water to keep us cool in an extreme heat wave. If we needed something, Hugh was very responsive and helped us out. The neighborhood was filled with good eats, including ice cream. The small kitchenette was just fine for our needs and there was also a laundry rack for clothes and towels which came in handy. There is a community pool and trails near by. I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about the place, it was 5 stars all around in our book. Thanks Hugh!
