About Us: We love this neighborhood’s parks, great school a block away, its accessibility to everything coupled with the quietness of the block. No matter where we have lived or traveled, this is our favorite place to be. If you are a Foreign Service, military or other government family, we aim to be a soft-landing for families transitioning in or out of Washington, for change of station, training, medevac, or vacation. Our Preferred Rental: Our preference is for longer-term stays, ideally a month or more that accommodate families in transition. We accommodate shorter rentals, but really aim for this house to be a temporary home, a safe and soft landing for families moving to the area, transitioning from overseas, families on medevac, or government TDY. Contact me directly to discuss the rental.
