This charming row house is a 10-15 minute drive from just about anything you want to do in DC. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood was full of kids playing and dogs on walks. We loved the Old City Market & Oven for breakfast, groceries and a couple of great pizza dinners.

What a lovely home is a quaint neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.

The home was spacious for the three of us and had what we needed for the week. The home is a quarter of a mile from a subway stop and less than a mile from Union Station. Trader Joe’s is a quarter of a mile away. There’s a gate at the bottom of the stairway which kept our dog downstairs with us during the day. A great place to stay for a visit to DC!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Purple House! The house was very comfortable and accommodated our needs for the week we rented it, it was a bonus that it was pet friendly without an exorbitant pet fee. The house is large and it got a bit chilly. There are heaters, however, the heater on the lower level is quite small and had a difficult time warming the large room. But that was not a show-stopper, we hope to book the same property when we return in DC in 2025!
