    My partner and I are from the U.K and had travelled to Virginia for a 10 day trip to celebrate my 40th birthday (he had booked me tickets to a Huey Lewis concert in Newport News). We spent our last night in Washington and boy was it hard to book somewhere, everywhere was either full, too expensive or way out of town. This is a nice compromise, close to the vibrant and safe area of Dupont Circle and not too expensive. The room we were given was not the one we booked, however it was better than the one we had picked! We had been warned by Anna at the Museum B & B, who had recently stayed here, that parking was a problem but that the people who ran the place would be able to find us a space round the back for $20. The only disappointment was breakfast, which was a cold buffet and help yourself, not the delightful friendly home cooked meals we had enjoyed for th previous 9 days of our visit.

    Great location!! rooms and building very comfortable and cozy. Not at all flexible with breakfast time, even just getting a cup of coffee.

    My husband and I had a very nice stay. The location is great! On the whole the place is very nice and the owners are very friendly and pleasant. My problems were that the bed, although advertised as a queen, had to be a full. It seemed very small to me. The breakfast, while very nice and the food offered good, would be much better if there were some hot options. I expect a hot breakfast at a B and B. Finally, we reserved parking for our two night stay, but when we came back from dinner on our second night the spaces were full and we had to find street parking. Obviously, we were not charged for our second night of parking when we brought it to their attention, but we could have done without the hassle of it.

    We were greeted by the warm smiles of the owners, who happen to live in one of the two houses. The rooms were clean, well decorated and quite roomy. Bed and breakfast's by definition are not meant to be large rooms or suites but this place offers nice sized rooms. Each room has its own private bathrooms and most of them had jacuzzi tubs. The continental breakfast was lovely and their coffee was superb. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I had stayed at The Inn at Dupont Circle once and highly regret it, it does not even come close to Dupont at the Circle. Ally
