Our family of 6 (2 parents and 4 teenagers) stayed at Mark's house for 8 days. The location was perfect. Close to Union Station and even closer to a wonderful grocery store. We made all of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen. We loved our entire trip to DC and this house definitely made our experience more enjoyable. It was great to be able to relax in the evenings in this beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and well maintained with comfortable beds. We found it to be exactly as portrayed by its photos. We also experienced a broad spectrum of weather from chilly and rainy 50's to blistering and humid 90's and the house's heating system quickly adapted to ensure we were always comfortable. We never saw Mark but he checked in via email and generously provided ink for the printer when we needed to print tickets. It truly was amazing to find that Mark had thought of so many items guests might need from reusable grocery bags to an umbrella to coffee for our first morning. We especially appreciated the DC Circulator map. We arrived via Amtrak and never needed a car. We were within easy walking distance to many sites and to public transportation. We are so glad that we chose this house!
