The big plus at Akwaaba was the terrific skill and warmth of hostess/ manager Kristin: her delightful breakfasts, attentiveness to guests, gracious manner, and most of all sense of fun and humor added up to a positive comfortable easy stay. more

Each room is different, honoring different literary figures and having some of their works. The full breakfast is wonderful!The property manager/chef/raconteur is enchanting, resourceful, and makes it easy for me to re-book Akwaaba when I return to DC. It's located in a residential area, yet has great restaurant choices within two blocks. Should you need something, there's a big supermarket... more

Does that not say it all? Akwaaba was a wonderful find for my friend (colleague) and myself that afforded a great location, wonderful accomodations and a friendly and caring staff. The breakfast was great, but the coffee could be a bit stronger for our taste. I would try and book a room for any visit where an Akwaaba B&B is... more

She ensured that my stay was an enjoyable one. She explained to me that they were a Geen establishment and the meaning of being green. To ensure... more

We stayed in the Zora Neale Hurston room. The bed slept extremely comfortable. The jucuzzi was the bomb! The breakfasts were extremely tasty and very filling. They were well presented. The location was great. Kristin Singleton was an outstanding hostess and quite informative! She created a comfortable atmosphere. She made our stay in D.C. very memorable. more

I arrived after twelve hours drive. I was cheerfully and warmly welcomed and given a tour of the house. The happy hour snacks that would ordinarily have been put away were kept available for my arrival. I was helped with printing out something from the internet, and all the questions I had were answered. The breakfast was delicious. more
