American Guest House

Traveling to Washington DC for our SA Embassy Visa submission had us locate accommodation in close proximity to Massachusetts Ave, or “Embassy Row”. Our personal choice has always been boutique, B&B or small places where we can receive a more personalized service, and sure enough The American Guest House provided that and much more. Lucia, the owner is a beautiful sweet lady, who is constantly looking for ways to go above and beyond expectations. The Guest House is a historic colonial style house with twelve rooms, and plenty of history.

If you are looking for a charming, quiet, and cozy Bed & Breakfast near Embassy Row, look no further. Very comfortable beds, very friendly and helpful staff, and delicious breakfast, all for an incredible value.

This was an amazing concierge type of experience: central location, friendly home environment, with privacy as needed. The host was amazing and had a wealth of information. Easy access to Metro as well. The breakfast was great that really helped kick off the day. I am so happy I found this place and will be definitely staying here in the future. You guys did a great job and I will be seeing you soon. Sincere gratitude for having me as your guest.
