My wife and I stayed in this BnB on Feb 2013, we were received by Daniel, who has explained everything clearly to us, including my questions about the neighborhood.

We saw Gerald in the next morning, when he served us the breakfast, which was very good! Both Daniel and Gerald are really nice people and I'll surely stay in their BnB again when I get back to this beautiful city.

The only things that could be better are a private bathroom and a few bigger room. But it did not worsen anything on our trip. As I said, surely would stay in Aunt Beas again!

Recommended!

We immediately felt at home. The cozy and comfortable atmosphere is wonderful and provides a warm calm environment to release stress and rest legs tired from seeing sights. Much careful attention, help, and advice provided to allow planing the days activities. I read in other reviews and certainly agree that Gerald's breakfast is amazing. It leads to my conclusion that Gerald's "Aunt Beas Little White House is truly "The Home of Purring Tummies"

My wife and I spent four days at Aunt Beas Little White House B&B over the Christmas holiday season. We both found the experience to be extremely pleasant. Its location is a very short walk from a Washington DC metro station. It is also within walking distance for both excellent sit-down and take-out restaurants. There is also a market very close. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The price is reasonable and the breakfast is both delicious and healthy.

One of the things we enjoyed the most is talking with the other guests in the morning. It was a fascinating mix of international guests. Gerald is also a wonderful person to talk with, as he’s led an extremely interesting life. He’s also quite knowledgeable about everything in the Washington DC area.

I would highly recommend Aunt Beas Little White House B&B as a place to stay when visiting Washington DC. Its location and amenities combine to provide a great experience.

We had a two night stay with Gerald in late October, I had been in correspondence with him right from the point of making the booking; he is an extremely hospitable and welcoming host in email just as he is in person, making sure I had the right directions and confirming the time of my arrival to ensure he would be ready to greet me.

Gerald has a wealth of knowledge of the DC area and was fabulous at offering suggestions from how to get around (including metro maps) to answering questions about the best places to eat locally and in the downtown area. His guesthouse is conveniently located a short walk from the (Brookland-CUA) metro stop and is in a very safe neighbourhood.

Aunt Beas is a guesthouse (effectively it’s a B&B), there are only a few rooms, located upstairs with a shared bathroom (I think one room has an en-suite bathroom); there is plenty of seating outside in the garden or on the verandah; we found it relaxing and great to know we we’re heading back to at the end of each day (rather than to a soulless hotel room).
Our room was comfortable, there is plenty of space (in the room) to store bags without feeling cramped; we heard little noise (no traffic or sirens) and we slept well each night.

As has been mentioned previously – breakfast is a two-course treat. We were lucky enough to have Gerald to ourselves in the morning and we were grateful for the conversation.

We had a memorable stay and we will definitely return every time we pass through DC.
