Property is new, clean, beds are super comfy, staff is extremely nice, the room was refreshed and cleaned perfectly each day. You also get codes for free 45 minute bike rides, which comes in handy. The rooftop bar has amazing view. Shout out to Alexandar in the front desk, he was so heart warming, he provided cool recommendations.

We loved every little detail in the guesthouse!Both indoor and outdoor spaces were beautiful,clean and spacious and we felt extremely comfortable! All the amenities were great and we liked the cosy vibes during breakfast time, which was excellent! The neighborhood and general area was dreamy – stunning like a painting and definitely the most beautiful we saw in Washington! The staff was amazing, answering all of our questions from the very beginning and helping us with everything throughout our stay. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – we truly hope we’ll be able to come back someday! Sending our warmest greetings from Greece!!!:)

    All the museums are wonderful and free.

    All the museums are wonderful and free. The postal and African American were amazing. Indian and Gallery of Art, too. Best in two hour bursts then grab a bite there or nearby. Use Ubers or public trans. Little parking. Weekdays less crowded.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
