Rod was a wonderful host, getting back to me quickly regarding questions and providing lots of on-point recommendations. He met us on the walkway to the property right on schedule, and we got to meet his kind wife and three kids that first day. The neighborhood is honestly beautiful, established, tree-lined, gorgeous four square homes with native gardens. Several locals walking dogs, out for jogs, pushing strollers... just a really family-friendly place. Tricky street parking. There's lots of room to spread out in the basement apartment (big leather sectional couch and a full basket of varied books and a shelf of games), a comfy king mattress plus a bed for each of our teenagers in a separate area, a kitchen with dishes and glasses and ready-to-go ice in the freezer, and a dining table with 6 chairs. Rod left 3 metro cards for us on the dining table so that we could simply load fare right on to them during our stay. Huge refrigerator, washer/dryer tower in kitchen, excellent window A/C unit which was super duper helpful during the 100 heat wave last week of June 2025. Small but serviceable bathroom. Can hear family walking above.We were able to walk to UDC across the street, to many embassies (extra security near Israel embassy at this point), and past cute restaurants and the local Giant grocery store. It only took us about 8 minutes to walk to the Van Ness metro station and about 20 minutes to walk south to the Smithsonian Zoo. We felt safe!
