Nestled on a quiet, community-minded block with welcoming neighbors, this stylish, pet-friendly home offers comfort, culture, and a true sense of place.

BEAUTIFUL home, incredible artwork and very close to RFK Festival Grounds and all the other major attractions DC has to offer (that’s why we were down there) Lavon was an amazing host! Very accommodating, very good with communication and helping with anything we were curious about! We will absolutely be staying again!
Amazing experience and an incredible host. I want to stay here every time I come to DC now. Host left no stone unturned when it came to amenities and accommodations. So appreciative!!! Plus neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and full of rich history.
Beautiful little house! The decor was interesting and colorful. The beds were very comfortable and there was room in the living area for everyone to sit comfortably. The kitchen was well appointed. Parking was easy and it was a quick little walk to the metro. Very nice!
We stayed with our family. Place was well kept and decorated. It has everything we needed and could ask for. I highly recommend. Lavon was a great host, very responsive.
Booked to attend a nearby conference. This is such a beautiful property. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the space is so peaceful and welcoming. The host is incredibly responsive and left great recommendations of food to try. She really thought of everything to have a comfortable relaxing stay.
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.
Such a beautiful and peaceful residence. Clean, comfortable.....home from home and reasonably priced. The owner certainly put her heart and soul into creating this warm and inviting space. She thought of everything you could possibly need and more. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and walking distance totosome cultural gems..
Clean, comfortable quiet neighborhood. Close to metro bus line and subway. Over night street parking as well as private parking on site. Full kitchen. Great host. Will recommend to other family members and friends.
