Comfy
We took it offline this season to give it the same care the other two rooms got before they went live. Back in Q4 2026.
Comfy is offline right now. We're using the time to give it the same care the other two rooms got before they went live — paint, bedding, a few quiet upgrades — and we'll be back to hosting in here Q4 2026.
If you're curious about a future stay, take a look around the rest of the site. The Big Pippin and The Frida Room are both open and the same hosts (and the same kitchen, and the same DC) are waiting for you.
Getting around DC.
These are real recommendations from people who know DC closely: Slli'm by birth, Charli by college and adult life. We update this as places change.
01Breakfast / coffee
Breakfast / coffee
- Call Your Mother — Multiple guests have raved about this on Charli's recommendation. Get the everything bagel.
More breakfast picks coming — Charli's adding her nearest coffee spot, weekend brunch favorite, and a breakfast under $15.
02Dinner
Dinner
- Walter's — By Nats Park. Same group owns several restaurants in that family — ask Charli for the cluster.
More dinner picks on the way — special-occasion, weeknight casual, vegetarian-friendly, late-night.
03Drinks / nightlife
Drinks / nightlife
- U Street Corridor — For live music and cocktail bars.
Charli's adding specific bars worth the trip vs. tourist traps to skip.
04Walks + outdoor
Walks + outdoor
- Anacostia Riverwalk — 8 minutes from us, beautiful, underrated.
- Frederick Douglass Bridge to The Yards — Anacostia views, restaurants on the other side.
- Eastern Market on a Saturday morning — Flea market, food stalls, the actual market hall.
05Museums
Museums
- All Smithsonian museums are free. — Plan around government shutdowns — they close. Charli has a list of non-Smithsonian alternatives if that happens during your stay; ask.
Charli's working on which Smithsonians are worth the time, lesser-known museums, and the Phillips Collection if you like art.
06Neighborhoods worth wandering
Neighborhoods worth wandering
- Capitol Hill — Colorful row houses, walkable, a mile from us.
- Georgetown — Cobblestone streets, shops, restaurants.
- U Street — History, music, food.
Want personalized recs? Text us at (202) 455-6633 with what you're into — food, art, history, walking, nightlife — and we'll send you specific picks. We do this for every guest who asks; some of our best reviews come from it.
How we live.
This is our primary residence, not a guest house. A few things that shape the experience.
You'll probably meet us.
We're around. We love practicing our French and Spanish with international guests. We're often in the kitchen or on the deck and you're welcome to join us — many guests have ended up sharing a glass of wine with us at the dining table. Equally welcome to keep to yourself; we read context.
The kitchen is open to you.
We keep it impeccably clean and you're welcome to use it — fridge space, coffee, full kitchen. Just clean up after yourself the way you'd want a guest in your home to.
We host friends and family on the deck or at the dining table sometimes.
Brunches, dinners, an evening with a bottle of wine. We're considerate of quiet hours; if a gathering ever feels disruptive, text us. If you're the kind of traveler who'd happily join us, you'll feel right at home.
Quiet hours: 12am–6am.
There's an elementary school across the street and things can get loud during pickup/dropoff. We've left earplugs and sleep masks in the nightstand if morning light is a problem.
Shoes off, please.
There's a basket of slippers near the front door — help yourself.
No smoking inside.
The back porch is fine — there's a Solo Stove out there and firewood on the patio if it's a fire kind of night.
This isn't a child-friendly home.
Three levels, open stairs, vintage furniture, art at toddler height. We don't host kids under 12.
How we try to be green.
- 01
Glass water bottle in your room. Refill at the fridge — we change the filter monthly. No plastic bottled water.
- 02
Cloth hand towels in the bathrooms instead of paper towels.
- 03
Compost bin under the kitchen sink for food waste.
- 04
Recycling basket in your room (paper, glass, plastic).
- 05
Toilet paper is Who Gives a Crap — bamboo, no trees.
- 06
Linens are washed in Australian Sandalwood laundry sauce — distinctive scent, in case you're sensitive.
Come back any time.
Sometimes we open up direct stays for guests we've already met. Drop your email if you'd want to know.
