D.C Metro Area- Elegant 2 Bedroom Condo at the National Harbor

This was a great find - location is easy to get in and out of. Condo was clean and fresh, the owners were great! Lots of easy to get to restaurants within walking distance, even in the cold. Thanks Chris & Tamara for your hospitality, I'll be sure to recommend this gem to our DC bound friends and family! Cj, Bob Landry

Wow is the only way to describe this place! The national Harbor is minutes from everything yet peacefully off the beaten track. The condo has everything you need plus washer & dryer and a dedicated parking space available to rent. The place has a gym, pool, and several common area lounges. The other condo owners are friendly toward renters too. Chris and Tamara are a great resource, like having family in DC. Hints for travelers: if you drive, park free on the street if you arrive at 9-9:30 am. Constitution Avenue is right on the mall. Vendors are reasonable. (we paid $7 for 2 hot dogs and a bottled lemonade). Tuesday is free day at the museum of natural History. Our kids enjoyed the spy museum (pricey) Lots of free stuff to do on the Mall and on weekends at the Harbor. Elevation Burger is awesome! Best fries ever and the milkshakes are unbelievably thick my lime one was sooo refreshing! The America Store is the best for high quality souvineers and take your own pictures with Obama or Palin figures. In August the Harbor looked more like San Diego than I imagined MD would look. We got loads of great photos! It gets hot so we spent afternoons in the pool. Don't expect to see everything on one trip. Plan to return, we do and we will stay here unless it is already booked- its very popular and bargain priced! There were 5 of us 2 seniors, an adult a teen boy and a preteen girl. We all had a great time, I am sure you will too.

We enjoyed our stay at National Harbor. It's fresh and new with lots of great places to eat. Fireworks on Saturday night were an added treat for the kids. The condo was very well maintained and the property itself is very safe. Chris and Tamera were there to great us and were very helpful with information regarding the Harbor and D.C. We'd definitely recommend to those traveling to D.C. with or without children.

I intended to rent a condo instead of a hotel so that I could cook the majority of our stay and not have to eat out everyday/night. That was very difficult since you don't have ANY baking sheets, a decent size casserole dish, and only have one skillet, no broiler pan, and not enough dishes and silverware therefore we had to run the dishwasher daily whether it was full or not. I think the condo is very nice just not adequately furnished, and I think the windows should have had some kind of drapes to be able to make a room darker during the day if needed. And we were also awakened EVERY morning to a neighbor either above or below doing some heavy duty remodling.
