We were in DC for a work conference and this was perfect for my coworkers and I. We flew in earlier than check in and were able to drop our luggage off before heading out to explore the city. It was much more comfortable than a hotel and we saved money. The beds were comfy and linens clean. The soap and shampoo in the bathrooms smelled amazing (I’m going to order some.) The property is close to Howard University Hospital so you do hear EMS sirens quite often, but nothing too obnoxious. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. And, there is even a little store right next door if you’re needing some beverages or small snacks. (It’s not a fancy store, but the owner of the store is really sweet.) This is a fantastic property, 10/10 would recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Ivan’s. The house was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and very spacious. The rooms are extremely comfortable, with all the needed amenities. The historic neighborhood is very walkable. The location on a busy street may not suit everyone but did not bother our family at all. We would be happy to visit again.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and truly felt like a home away from home. It was thoughtfully stocked with great amenities, including hair dryers in every bathroom and an excellent iron, which was especially appreciated. Everything was comfortable, well-maintained, and made our stay very enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
