This house was just wonderful for Christmas week with our family of eight: four bedrooms, each with en suite bath, on the second and third floors, with living room (with gas fireplace), large eat-in kitchen and half bath on the ground floor, and a self-contained apartment in the basement (with its own laundry facilities). Incredibly clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, the house has everything a group could possibly need for short or long term stays. In addition, there is a small grocery next door, with Trader Joe’s and several restaurants nearby. The Capitol is three blocks away, with the Smithsonian museums in easy walking distance. The metro (Capitol south stop) is only four blocks away, making all of DC and beyond accessible.The hosts were extremely kind, responsive, and accommodating, even loaning us their fondue pot for Christmas Eve. We can’t say enough about this lovely home; Mike and Joan are the best!
