4 out of 5
Old building with some history. It is clear that the staff and management take pride n maintaining the residence. Staircase is tilted somewhat, which I noted because I was on the fourth floor and there is no elevator.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay at our DC bed and breakfast. A little about the history of our building, it was built around 1893 by the masonry contractor that did the brickwork for the Old Post Office, Union Station, and many more landmarks around Washington, DC. Yes, with time the 100% mahogany wood stairway, the centerpiece of our property, has shifted slightly in one area. But no worries, our stairway is very safe and we pass inspections yearly. Come experience old world charm, homemade breakfasts and friendly hospitality with us.

Unique house with smaller but serviceable rooms. Old feel but cozy.
