European Guesthouse, Kensington, Md Holiday Rentals

Description for B&B:

Your European hostess (former World Bank economist) proudly welcomes you into her home: a lovely, romantic Cape Cod 25 minutes from the White House and the US Capitol, with central air conditioning and heating, WIFI, a sun terrace, and an enchanted garden with a large private pool.

You will reside comfortably in the PENTHOUSE suite on the top floor from where you have a wonderful view of the pool and the neighboring gardens. The suite has wooden floors, a private bathroom and a large bedroom with built-in bookcases, a built-in desk and two small closets.

The MAIN LEVEL of the home features a large dining room / living room combination with a terrace leading to the backyard, and a country-style kitchen equipped with dishwasher, gas range, microwave, food processor, coffee maker, and a large fridge.

The home is located in a luscious, leafy 1950s-style neighborhood close to major access roads and public transportation: 10-15 min. WALK to the MARC train which takes you to the US Capitol and the White House in 25 minutes (4 stops). 5 min DRIVE to Beach Drive, a scenic road through forest and parkland leading to downtown DC in about 20-30 minutes (attention: deer crossing!). The home is also in walking distance of 2 metro stations on the red line and several metro buses to downtown Washington DC and Bethesda.

If you prefer to stay in the neighborhood, you can just relax at the pool – your private oasis close to the capital of the world. Or you can window-shop on Antique Row in old-town Kensington (10min walk from the home), have a meal in one of the old-town restaurants, go jogging or biking along Beach Drive, or visit the gorgeous Mormon Temple at Beach Drive & Stoneybrook (5min drive, 15min walk).

In short: there is plenty to do (or not) in and around the home – you won't get bored.
