We loved the space and the hospitality. It was quiet, clean, very well arranged. Space is small as listed- but we did not feel at all constrained. Traveling with a young child, we were so pleased with a bit of outdoors with the convenience of a backyard, local playground and hiking trail. We ate great food locally within walking distance as well as more formally on night out in DC. Extremely responsive host who made our stay entirely stress-free and relaxing.

My husband and I really enjoyed this vacation home. We were away most of the day and would return to a nice, quiet neighborhood. I would have given it 5-stars but we had a small issue with the air conditioning. We reported the issue and received a prompt response. Unfortunately, it was never fixed but it wasn't too bad because we would return really late at night. So we slept with the windows open. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

This was my second, 3-night, stay and everything was as before: clean, ready for me and very convenient; including the off-street parking. A Safeway is less than 5 minutes walk away. The WiFi works well and the nights are so quiet that a good rest is assured. Excellent, good-value restaurants abound in the neighbourhood. I'll be back! David from Mexico

Charming little add-on behind house in a nice residential area. Hostess lent us her neighborhood parking pass, which made it much easier to park. Close to Georgetown and American University. Not fancy, but charming, with small but adequate bathroom, coffee maker and small fridge. Under direct flight path of National Airport, took awhile to get used to the sound of takeoffs at 5:00 a.m. Heater worked very fast (too well!) in quickly heating the room. Very private and cozy. Hostess very helpful printing out our boarding passes.

A car is necessary and the owners provided a safe off-street parking space close to the entrance to the studio. The studio met all expectations, was clean and efficient. I would recommend it and plan to stay there again.

Had lots of information on things to do in the room as well. The location was great. Just a short bus ride into town or short drive and you were there. The room was clean and just perfect for a stay in D.C. Had everything you would need.

Wonderful stay. Charlotte was a lovely host, easy to get in touch with and always replied promptly. Shopped daily for fresh food at Safeways and made good use of the fridge and microwave to store food for breakfast and packed lunches. Bus stop close with somewhat of a long trip to downtown but pleasant enough. Finding bus stops for the way back was a lot trickier as we were not familiar with the bus route or DC. Room adequate for a short stay. Clean and comfortable. Nice back yard to eat breakfast in. Thank you Charlotte.

We were very pleased to find this property at such a low rate (93.60/night) in DC. When we arrived Charlotte was most gracious in greeting us and giving directions to local amenities. We were surprised that there was no TV, but were able to watch episodes of TV we missed on the computer. The room was very cramped with little area to get comfortable; however, we stayed for four nights and were able to adjust. The shower was very small, but adequate. The closet kitchen did have a small refrig and a small microwave which allowed for some warm food. I got tired of paper plates and bowls and plastic tableware, but in so far as there was no place to wash dishes, it was necessary.
I think that the room was OK - kind of like camping out while in DC. For the economy-minded who are not looking for a lot of comfort and amenities, I think Charlottes Web would be excellent. However, to call it "The Best of DC" is a bit deceptive.

Safe, friendly, cosy.
