Great place for DC group!

This location was perfect. The property was excellent and matched expectations exactly. The location was very good - close to metro, busses and good nightlife. Hosts, Brian and Ashley, were extremely communicative, kind, attentive, and helpful in ensuring our trip was a huge success. I recommend this place to anyone.
