Location, location, location! Park your car, and don’t worry about driving anywhere else. The subway is just around the corner, and Safeway and CVS are in easy walking distance as well.
Townhome is cozy but comfortable with most everything one could need, especially if you are just using it as a place to rest and recharge as you explore all that DC and the surrounding areas have to offer. We were enchanted with all the rich historical, educational and beautiful places we explored. Our son lives nearby in a studio apt., and though he would have happily had us stay with him, we felt much more comfortable (especially with our two additional dogs) with a space of our own.
We felt safe, and we loved that the space was pet friendly and had a small backyard for late nights. As in any large city, always be aware of your surroundings. We did not enjoy the one restaurant we went to in the area, but with so many places just a hop, skip and a train ride away, we didn’t even worry about trying our luck again. :)
We enjoyed seeing young families mingling including witnessing a little girl’s first time on a bike in the kid friendly, sidewalk community.
Overall, it was a good stay, and the host was accessible and responsive. Enjoy!
