Awesome as usual

Amazing place. Highly recommend.

A spectacular array of rooms and objects! We knew we were going to an historic townhouse with lots of objects and hidden doors. We didn't realize that it's a combined four row houses with artistry in every inch and it is basically also an operating hotel, so most of the rooms are bedrooms, each decorated uniquely - some French provincial, some art deco, some Bohemian, and others just an eclectic mix of styles, textures, prints and knick knacks. It was fun. We found seven of the secret doorways into other rooms, and that gave our boys a thrill. The owners happened to be on site during our tour, and we really enjoyed a few minutes of conversation with this incredible, intelligent, wordly and other-worldly, culturally diverse couple! A separate experience to my liking would be a tea time chat with H and her wonderful partner in crime! A visual smorgasborg!!

Finding this place was like finding a secret door! I was looking for a place to visit in DC that allowed some walking, wasn't crowded and gave us lots to talk about. Wow!We spent almost two hours here, just walking around, looking at the rooms and seeing all the things in the various rooms and hallways. I know we didn't see it all, which kind of blows my mind.We found 8 or 9 secret doors, my husband had such a great time and is totally determined to have a secret door or two in our forever home :)The weekend after we visited I recommended this place to both my brother's family and one of my closet friends - I also recommend it to you.There is a lot of walking - up stairs, downstairs, through doors, hallways etc. and there is so much to see (and buy!). And hear - some rooms have music playing, some rooms have a lecture or speech playing and many also have related video on a screen.We had a great time here and are determined to return one day to find some additional doors and rooms.If you are someone who loves guitars, I would suggest you put aside some time and check the guitar collection out - we didn't really study them, but it was a very impressive collection.The two things that stuck out to me most were the sketches of Winne the Pooh and Piglet and the Yellow Submarine ukulele.This place was so much fun to visit, thank you so much!
