一個老宅子聯排別墅，屬於B&B類型。周邊還是比較方便，1公里範圍內有好幾個7-11，晚上街上安靜。距離國家動物園步行25分鐘。設施比較老，走路聲會覺得隔音效果一般，不過客人都很文雅安靜。早餐是continental風格的，不習慣西式早餐的，可以考慮不含早餐，免得浪費錢。

On the positive side the location is convenient. There is not much to love and I do not recommend at all. The hospitality is non-existent; including a simple greeting of the day. There is no water for sale or otherwise - so after a long travel day you get to your room and then have to walk to Walgreens just to get water. If they can sell candy at the entrance of the place why not water. For those with allergies - avoid at all cost. The common area and rooms smell like there has been no fresh air since the civil war. It has an old musty smell like you would expect when you open a summer home after the winter. They would be served to buy some room air purifiers. I felt tolerated and not welcomed. The breakfast includes scramble eggs bacon store bought day old breads - marginal at best. The experience can be summed up as shelter - period.

Stayed on our way out east to visit our son. If you like old, historic homes (which I do) you will love this place. Location is great, nice neighborhood. We parked in parking garage nearby. Host aims to please. Made our visit very enjoyable.

The American Guest House is a charming B&B in a historic townhouse with lots of period detail in the common areas as well as individual rooms. It benefits from being located in a great residential neighborhood (Kalorama and Morgan Adams), with many restaurants, a couple of small parks nearby and a 10 minute walk or less to the DuPont Circle Metro station. I’ve stayed there 3 or 4 times over the past five years or so and it’s great to see that it survived the Covid pandemic. The host and owner, Lucia, is quite charming and attentive and will cook up a hot breakfast dish along with fresh fruit, muffins, etc. It’s really like having one’s own pied à terre when in DC.

Although I closed the flimsy blinds and curtains, the room was flooded with light by 7 am. The room contained an alarm that went off at 7 am that the staff had not turned off. And the walls and floors of the (very pretty) old house are thin and the room was very noisy. If you’re going to try to sleep here, bring ear plugs and a sleep mask.

The American Guest House isn't fancy, nor are the rooms huge and full of luxury amenities. But it is remarkably clean and quiet. As a single traveler, I felt very safe both in the house and in the neighborhood. It's an easy 10 minute walk to two different Metro stations and there's a bus stop right outside the door. (Wish I would've taken advantage of the bus system, which is just terrific and in many ways easier than the Metro subways.) I was attending a conference at the Washington Hilton but was unable to get a room there. The guest house was just a 1-block walk to the Hilton and I was glad to avoid the hotel hustle and bustle. Staying here turned out to the be the right choice for me.

My colleague and I stayed at AGH for a couple nights. Lucia was a breath of fresh air. She was pleasant and professional. She even offered to carry our bags. Wasn't going to happen! The rooms were clean, quiet, comfortable, gorgeous, and homey. The location was perfect, a short 3 minute walk to our conference. Highly recommend.

It is inconvenient for business trips, with one kitchen serving all rooms for water, tea, coffee and food. Guests are not allowed into the kitchen 9pm-8am these times kept changing throughout our stay, as well as instructions keep changing eveyday, spread out as notes put on tables, doors, rooms and bathrooms, you have to read new instructions everyday. Walls are extremely thin, very uncomfortable.
