Woodley Park Guest House

This charming, 16-room B&B offers clean, comfortable, and cozy lodging; inexpensive rates; a super location; and a personable staff. Guests hail from around the globe, a fact which inspired the owners to add a globe to the breakfast room; people sitting across the table from each other in the morning often go over to the globe and point out exactly where they live: the Arctic Circle, Brazil, Seattle.

Special features of the guesthouse include a wicker-furnished, tree-shaded front porch; exposed, century-old brick walls; beautiful antiques; and original art. (The innkeepers buy works only from artists who have stayed at the guesthouse.) Rooms have either one or two twins, one double, or one queen-size bed. The guesthouse benefits from its across-the-street proximity to the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, where airport shuttles and taxis are on hand. The Woodley Park-Zoo Metro stop, good restaurants, Rock Creek Park, and the National Zoo are all a short walk away. If you're interested in staying closer to the heart of the city, consider the owners' other excellent B&B, the Embassy Circle Guest House (same website, www.dcinns.com), which is located in the Dupont Circle/Embassy Row neighborhood. Both guesthouses are nonsmoking.
