A welcoming guesthouse in a great location on the 42 Bus route and an easy walk to many restaurants. Their comprehensive website has links to just about everything you need to know. This gives an insight into what you can expect as a guest of Jonathon and Joseph. They have considered your every need even to providing soy milk at... More

The house is beautiful, the neighborhood was excellent with many shops and restaurants, near Dupont Circle Metro station. The Inn Keepers were super friendly and so accommodating. The breakfast was great, including fresh baked goods every morning. We wouldn't... More

Jonathan and Joseph were wonderful innkeepers. Light, engaging chat. A delicious, healthy breakfast. A clean room and comfy bed. Will definitely stay there on a future return to DC. The location is ideal - great neighborhood and close to public transit. The kicker for us was the price...best value we could find in DC. More

Stayed six nights. Wonderful location just above Dupont Circle in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. My wife and I biked from the Guest House to the mall every day along well-defined bike routes that passed two great dining spots -- Hanks Oyster Bar and Old Ebbitts Grill. Our room was bright and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfasts... More

Jonathan is an amazing chef, and everything was delicious. The building has an authentically historic look and feel, but the rooms were comfortable and had very reliable wi-fi and TV,... More

My first time at this B&B. Very lovely rooms, amazingly wonderful breakfasts, and great location. Beautiful, historical building, creaking floors and all. Staff were friendly.
