My first comment: if you stay at Ivy Mansion make sure you know its street address! We didn't, and when we arrived at night we had awful trouble finding the B&B because we didn't have an exact address for the bus/tax driver to enter into his GPS. We had the address from the website, which is a corner, but the... More

Dana was very kind & accommodating. She has a lovely place and knows her city. Great location and one of the best areas for dining in DC. One of the best spots is the French "Bistro du Coin"... literally a block away. Great atmosphere, cafe style, great menu, great desserts, reasonable.

I stayed in the Ivy Mansion from January - March 2011, after returning from a foreign service posting abroad. The room I rented fell within the limit of the Home Service Transfer Allowance that I received upon my return to Washington, and negotiating payment with Dana, the proprietor, was a breeze.

Place was immaculate, beds super comfortable with extra pillows and... More

We highly suggest the Ivy Mansion for your stay in DC. IT's a great location. Safe neighborhood, close to metro, eating and fun!!

Couldn't find a more gracious host and idyllic setting. The rooms are great and so close to everything. I'll be back.

Our family (2 parents + kids aged 11 and 14) stayed in the garden apartment for four nights over Columbus Day weekend. What a terrific find this was: a lovely in-town neighborhood (tree-lined streets) just around the corner from Dupont Circle and its Metro. Dana met us when we arrived (hungry!), and supplied advice on wonderful eating spots all weekend... More

First off DC was great!! our host/owner Dana was awesome!, she went out of her way to check on us to make sure we were comfortable and was a great wealth of knowledge about the local area. We stayed in the basement apartment. It was plenty big for our family of 4. My teenage daughter loved the futon alcove near... More
