I was with traveller 1972, I loved the house. Big american house, comfortable, roomy, great porch on the back. Jackie and Charles are great. They clearly love doing this. Great idea to have breakfast together and talk, we met lovely people, americans and tourists like us. The area is lovely, lots of restaurants. First time I stayed in a B&B... More

We stayed at Aaron Shipman House for two nights. The B&B is located about 5 blocks from U Street Metro station (a good 5-10 min. walk). We were welcomed by Charles, one of the hosts. He was very warm and friendly. The house itself is absolutely stunning. The owners put their hearts and souls into renovating the house after having... More

A block away from a bus line that went right to the Smithsonian, 4 blocks from a Metro stop. Great restaurants nearby. Wonderful hosts that knew the area and made all guests feel like they were guests - not just paying customers. Would definitely stay there again.

We were in Washington for 4 nights and loved the house, its location and the hosts - Charles and Jackie. The best part was the breakfasts each morning, not just the good and hearty food but meeting the other guests as we all sat around the large dining table together swapping travel stories and tips for what to see and...

The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The owners were interesting to talk to and extremely nice...they even invited my sister (who lives in the area) to join us for breakfast. Breakfast was served together with all the other guests, making for lively and interesting conversation over coffee cake, strudel, Eggs Benedict, and other goodies.

I can only repeat what others have said: the owners are wonderful and make everyone feel right at home. The house is beautiful, in a great location. I enjoyed the breakfast with other guests, who were very interesting, and I also enjoyed the beautiful porch and backyard--a perfect place to read a book on a nice day. I'll definitely stay... More

This was our second stay at the wonderful Aaron Shipman House. It's close to most DC attractions, but in our case, the attraction we most care about is our little granddaughter, and the B&B is only a few minutes' walk from there. Jackie & Charles are very gracious hosts, offering a delicious sit-down breakfast every morning. We particularly enjoy meeting... More

Owners Charles and Jackie spent 8 yrs restoring this gorgeous home, which showed the moment I stepped though the front door. From the beautiful common areas to each individually decorated bedroom, this house reflected the immense care with which it has been treated over the years. The location was ideal - 20 min walk to the National Mall, 15 min... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay after visiting 3 years ago. Jackie and Charles are warm, hospitable, and knowledgable hosts who made us feel very welcomed. The rooms are clean and comfortable with lots of nice little touches like chocolate Easter eggs in the rooms and cookies near the front door. Breakfasts were delicious, and we enjoyed meeting the other... More
