Teacher & Bureaucrat
We love our secret natural paradise in DC. Chris is a transplant from WA, PA & OH but Erin grew up here. We are a dynamic duo that will welcome your excitement for coming to DC and also give you the truly local insight you are craving when you travel.
Chris is a public school teacher that runs monthly scavenger hunts on the National Mall and knows all the museums like the back of his hand. He speaks French and Spanish.
Erin works for the federal government and can use her previous wine store experience to recommend good eats and great pairings as you forage throughout the city. She speaks Spanish and Bureaucrateze.
Three lovely people - Chris, Erin and Luke - made my stay at their house a truly happy and enjoyable one.
July 2011Wonderful home at the end of a quiet street, just 30 minutes by bus from the White House, but almost rural, next to Rock Creek Park. Like living with a family away from your home.
This was my first experience with AirBnB and I loved it! The house is gorgeous and Chris and Erin are so laid back. I honestly can't see having a better experience. I even got to do my laundry ;) I go to DC often and I'll always check to see if Chris & Erin's place is available first.
Wow! Chris and Erin have such a lovely home and they are such GREAT Hosts! They were very warm, down-to-Earth, easy-going, and made us feel comfortable right from the start. This was our first time trying out airbnb, and we truly enjoyed it! They were so helpful in guiding us around DC, answered our many questions, offered breakfast every morning, and gave us many tips! They also provided us with maps, books about DC, and had many other things available which made our travels easier and... More »
My husband and I stayed for only one night and didn't have much chance to share with Chris and Erin, but the experience was great and we are very greatful for thier hospitality.
Very comfortable stay!
Chris and Erin were great! They were very accommodating and we felt so comfortable in their space. It was so helpful to have knowledgeable guests to stay with and help us during our trip. I would definitely stay here again, it was a great first AirBnB experience!
Lovely room & bath in a house on a quiet street next to Rock Creek Park. We arrived late and only stayed one night but felt welcome and cared for even though we were not able to spend much time with our hosts.
Erin and Chris are really sweet and easy going people, I had a great time at their place. The room is big and clean and has a good bed and a private bathroom. The house is situated in a very quiet environment, not too many shops or restaurants around, but the bus connection to the centre is good. Even a nice (simple) breakfast was provided.
Very nice couple with a nice home. It was very quiet, and I slept better than in most hotels.
Chris and Erin are really friendly people and great hosts, their house is lovely, and the room is large, clean and well appointed. We really enjoyed meeting them and our stay in Washington DC and would highly recommend their place to other AirBnB'rs.
We had a wonderful stay in DC at Chris and Erin's place. The price was right and the space was exceptionally clean, charming, private and comfortable. Chris and Erin were very gracious and accomodating hosts. Their place is in a safe location convenient to the city and metro bus system. We loved our stay and would recommend them as a good choice for anyone considering a trip to DC. ~ Jill and Doug Duffy, December 2010
We only got a chance to meet Chris during our stay, and he was very helpful and nice. The setup that they have is prefect and a close drive or bus ride to everything. We had a small situation on our trip, and Chris went above and beyond to help us through it. He was also extremely understanding of our crazy scheduling of arrival time and the times outside of the house. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the dc area!
Great hosts and a nice couple!!! Enjoyed staying in their home and delightful conversations with both of them. Clean and convenient to the Metro bus system.Would recommend them to family and friends!Hope to get back to DC in the future and hope they are still hosting. : )
We enjoyed staying at Chris & Erin's. There house was a perfect location for seeing D.C. You can catch the bus at the corner & be in D.C. in minutes. The bedroom was large with your own bathroom & all the information you need for sight seeing was right there. They were helpful with any questions we had also. Would recommend their place definitely!
we enjojed our time with chris and erin .chris was very helpful with transport inquiries .it is in a good location for getting down to all the places of interest just a bus ride to the white house.would definately recommend them. june and john ,barry, south wales
We had a wonderful stay and will definitely attempt to stay here the next time we return. Chris and Erin make their guest feel like they are home.
Chris & Erin were fabulous hosts! They were extremely gracious with their time and enjoyed sharing information about D.C. Their house is beautiful. It is situated next to the park and away from traffic so it is very quiet and lush. We had use of the master bedroom which was very spacious and we had our own private bathroom. Every morning there was cereal, fruit, tea and french press coffee - yum! Also, the bus stop is right at the end of their street which makes getting into DC very... More »
Had a great time visiting your city. Chris & Erin welcomed me to thier place, & I felt right at home, thank you for your help in making my first visit to Washington D.C. so enjoyable.Everything from the room, to the conversations was wounderfull. Thank you so much..........
A unique couple. We are from Utah and we enjoyed the contrast and similarities of our host family. We slept like "rocks" and you could literally hear a pin drop. Being by the woods was peaceful and provided a needed respite from all the nectic activity we were engage in. A 4 point buck greeted us very closely on the trail the last afternoon. The residence and fixtures were clean and tidy. It was an older home but kept well. Our hosts were also very knowledgeable about the area and... More »
Consistent with previous reviews, Erin & Chris's place is terrific - very clean, spacious, and pretty. The only negative was the small size of the bed (it's full-sized), but it was definitely still worth the stay.
We thank Chris & Erin for their hospitality. They are very good hosts. They made our late check in easy and they were very helpful and they provide us a pass to park in their street. The house is clean, spacious and with easy access to transportation. The place is nice: calm and peaceful. The room is comfortable and has written information about the city. No doubt: we would recommend their home! Thank you very much, Chris and Erin.
Wonderful hosts, friendly, open and attentive with all the amenities of home.We appreciated them greeting us at the door and chatting with us the first evening. The access to transportation is easy and both Chris and Erin gave good advice. So close to the park and downtown, a perfect hideaway spot. thanks to both Cris and Erin for a great stay. Deb and Vin
Excellent people, good location. Ready for all your accommodation needs. You can feel as if home.
It was a beautiful stay this summer at Chris and Erin´s house! We enjoyed the wonderful surrounding and the near to the Mall. It was a pleasure to be their guest, just a perfect stay! And thank you so much for all the help and good recomondations. Greetings from Cologne
Chris and Erin were fabulous hosts. Its very nice and cozy home. Very well located to easily know the great attractions the city of Washington has. For the traveler, they offer room is comfortable and appropriate, with private bathroom, graphic and written information from the city on a shelf certainly very pretty, which is very timely for those unfamiliar with the city. The treatment we received was excellent and gave us information that is not in the typical programs offered at travel... More »
Chris, Erin I'm so sorry i really thought i let an evealuation about you guys... I actually reconnect to airbnb in order to give your contact to a friend of mine so that he could meet you on his trip to Washington!!! We were in their house on hollidays, and everything is perfect, you can park the car easily in front of the house, the room is nice, the location is perfect to go visiting, only one bus and it's the same street than the white house! The best of all is their hospitality. We... More »
Wonderful space and hospitality. I found Chris and Erin's home to be lovely, comfortable and welcoming, a vivid reflection of the owner's themselves. I am hopeful to stay with them again when I return in the fall!
Great stay! Chris and Erin were very welcoming, and their place is incredible -- central but surrounded by woods.
Felt like country in the city. Very quiet,dead end, tree lined street with parking. Our room was upstairs, very comfortable double bed. Weather was hot and humid, no air but with the windows open and the fan on, very comfortable for us. Being on the go much of the time the time and with Chris & Erin working, we rarely saw each other. When we did, they both made us feel very comfortable and welcomed in their home. Thank you Chris and Erin for sharing your home.
Chris and Erin were wonderful hosts -- Chris made us feel right at home! The room and bathroom are very clean, and well presented. The breakfast (cereal and fruit) was good. The location was really cool -- we chose to walk downtown rather than take a bus and got to see all of the neat looking embassies. I would definitely stay here again!
Really enjoyed my stay with Chris and Erin. As others have said before the place is great, very peaceful, convenient location, and very close to transit. The room had tons of local resources inside, where to go, what to see, how to get around, maps, and local books! Couldn't ask for more! Comfortable, clean, and spacious. Thanks for introducing me to a good movie too!
We really enjoyed our stay with Chris & Erin. They welcomed our family graciously and were so friendly and great to chat with. Their home was great for our needs (close enough to the city via public transit, yet still peaceful). Don't miss out on Rock Creek park - we enjoyed it on 2 of our days, but would have loved to explore even more. As mentioned before - buy a smart pass! We didn't, and kept needing bus fare. Thank you again - all was wonderful.
Chris and Erin went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.Their home is quiet and peaceful located next to a park. You walk a few steps and there is the bus to take you downtown. I would recommend buying a smart pass online prior to coming. This saves on transportation costs and is more convenient if you are planning to take the bus and metro. Chris and Erin even provide you with a pass so that you can park for free on their street which is a great plus in DC. I will definitely... More »
We found Chris and Erin's place just what we needed. Large room, comfortable bed and private bath. VERY CLEAN. They were helpful but gave us all the space we needed at the same time. We also like the quiet, right in the middle of the city. Steve n' Patty
Chris and Erin were wonderful hosts. Beautiful setting, very close to the metrobus, and comfortable accommodations. I highly recommend them.
Erin and Chris were superb hosts. The neighborhood is quiet, and the bus is a quick walk from their place, and busses come frequently. It took me 20 minutes to get downtown. I was treated as a friend, rather than a guest, and the accommodations were very comfortable. This was my first AirBnB experience, and it was a good one.
thanks to chris & erin, hospitable host to our very first bnb. as good as per reviewed, the home location is nice, far from traffic buzz but close enough to walk to metrobus route; home is cosy, very country and 'natural setting in DC', close to woods! recommended!
Erin and Chris were very friendly and there place is great. Plus they took the time and gave us some great advice for the rest of our trip!! Thank you ...
We stayed with Chris and Erin for 9 nights during late February 2010. Their hospitality was wonderful. The house was light and spacious with a great kitchen dining nook overlooking the park green space which we especially appreciated. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and private with its own bathroom. The WiFi connection worked perfectly. We were able to come and go as we needed and we felt safe in the neighborhood at all hours. Bus transportation was easily accessible, frequent during peak...

Wow, wow, wow! Chris and Erin were wonderful hosts. They were extremely helpful in guiding us to the most important places to see in DC.
