About this property

Woody Westover is a jewel-of-a-find on a cul-de-sac in SE, DC. Just minutes from Capitol Hill and the White House off of Pennsylvania Avenue. You'll love this get-a-way. Washington Post once wrote that if God came to earth, he would build a house on Westover.

Clean and safe home to rest and recharge in the Nation's Capitol. There's worry free parking too. There's no kitchen at all. Just a basic place to sleep. If you are looking for perfection, this is not it but if you wish a very clean, safe, and cheap sleep, you have found it!

It was an amazing and easy stay. The only problem I had was the sink and toilet both clogged right off the bay and there was no plunger. Other than that it was nice & quiet.

Outstanding price, great location

It’s not fancy, but it works great if you don’t need a kitchen. Listing said there was a hot tub but that turned out to be an error, which was disappointing. Host generally responded very quickly.

Nice Accommodations for the Price

The space was clean and the bed was comfortable. The neighborhood where the home is located is about half a mile from Pennsylvania Avenue, so getting to tourist attractions such as the White House and the Washington Monument is straightforward. While the blanket could have been thicker, overall this is a good place and I would stay again.

Why they chose this property

My home is a lovely stone Tudor. It is uniquely located in Hillcrest on Good Hope Hill which is 300 feet above sea level and three miles from the Capitol. Hillcrest is a neighborhood in the southeast quadrant of WDC. It is located on the District-Maryland line in Ward 7, east of the Anacostia River.

What makes this property unique

Woody Westover is located on a very affluent cul-de-sac in SE WDC. It's quiet and calming with the abundance of trees. It is a sleep dome! It's so quite.
