General overview
Our row home is nearly 100 years old, with recent renovations that preserve the charm… think exposed brick and original finishes. We have small luxuries in the house like heated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom. My husband has thoughtfully decorated the house with mid-century modern furniture and local art. We are walkable to some restaurants.
We have plants to water but no pets. We are open to taking care of pets, especially cats, as my daughter loves them so much!
We are a 20 minute drive from the White House, 10-15 minutes from the Capitol, Union Station, and 10-20 minutes from all the free Smithsonian museums.
The internet is strong for working from home. During covid shutdowns we had one adult and 2 kids using Teams with video all day and did fine.
There are steps to enter the home and to get to the bedrooms, so the house is not very accessible to those with mobility challenges.
The space
2 floors: the first floor is living, dining, kitchen, .5 bath.
The second floor has 1 full bathroom and 3 bedrooms: 1 primary with queen bed, 1 bedroom with a single bed + desk setup, 1 bedroom with bunk beds.
Guest access
Access to 3 beds, 1.5 baths, front porch, street parking. No access to the basement or the backyard.
Notes
The basement apt is usually rented out on Airbnb so we are mindful of noise in the house and would ask the same of you. This is an attached row house with neighbors on both sides so there is a possibility of minor noise. We listed the basement apt separately because we have much more availability to host there, but a big group could use both.
Option to have a professional cleaning upon departure.

Getting to my home
Fly to DCA, IAD, or BWI. Or train/long distance bus to Union Station.
Nearest airport
DCA (closest, just a 20 minute drive, $20 Uber ride)
IAD, BWI are about an hour away, $50-60 Uber ride
Union Station is about a 10 minute drive away-with trains to Philadelphia, NYC (also busses to NYC), etc.
Getting around
Walkable to busses, bike share, a free street car, and scooter share but more than a mile from the metro. Also have Lyft/Uber ride share available.
We use a combo of car, Uber/Lyft, scooter and bus in our daily lives (not metro as it’s not that close).

We are a family of 3, including 8 year old daughter. I have an MPH degree and work remotely for a healthcare association. My husband owned a restaurant for many years and is now working on his next venture. Non-smokers. My bookworm 3rd grader would love to talk to you about Harry Potter and Greek mythology. Se habla Espanol in my house, by everyone but me.
Our travels were limited for a few years because we were foster parents and then the pandemic hit, so now we are eager to travel as much as we can within the limits of the school calendar.
We visit Florida 1-2x a year to see my family in North Florida, and fit in a more exciting trip or two for Spring Break and Summer.
