We had a great time in DC on a family trip staying here. Walked to metro and restaurants daily. House had new appliances and fixtures and most everything we needed. Great fenced in yard for the boys to run around in. The beds were comfy.
The only things I wish I had known before I booked:
- it’s big enough for 2 adults and 2-3 kids. we had 3 adults, 2 kids, and an infant. There was a pack n play for the infant, but no other baby amenities.. we ended up bathing the baby by holding him in the shower - would’ve done it in the kitchen sink but there wasn’t a mixing bowl big enough. Also, for some reason I misread the listing and the sofa is NOT a pullout - our au pair ended up sleeping on the sofa in the living room, which was a biiit less than ideal. Wish there was at least a set of sheets to place on top for him. The other bed is a rope cot in the master bedroom on which you can put a twin air mattress. But since we wanted to sleep in separate spaces, we didn’t end up using that.
- it can get a bit warm upstairs during the summer. Even with the AC on 72, it felt hot upstairs. When the AC is lower, it’d be freezing downstairs and comfortable upstairs.
- a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen… they seemed to come in under the backdoor.. maybe the weather seal needs replacing.. we kept things pretty clean and still found new ants everyday.
Overall, we had a great time!
