Perfect for the tourist in Washington. 20 mins walk south to the White House yet round the corner on 17th there's a great selection of mid-priced restaurants. But the best bit is the homely feel that Joanna gives the place - from the first smile of welcome, she looks after all her guests so well. The breakfasts are excellent and... More

I came to Washington DC for pleasure for one evening and was able to book 1 night. The location was convenient to downtown attractions. I was able to find free parking since it was the weekend. Accommodations were very comfortable. I did not get to enjoy the wonderful hot meal as I had other plans but it smelled heavenly! Would... More

I just had to write you to say what a great place you have in DC I was down in DC because my Dad was relocated to DC for Surgery and rather than staying in a hotel I looked for a B&B to stay in and luckily there was a room available at your place. We were greeted by Joanna... More

I booked the B&B for my daughter and Grandson based on reviews and I must tell you they were not disappointed. My daughter told me that her every need was met. Even a special breakfast when she didn't care for the one being served. They also enjoyed the canapes served in the evening and my Grandson especially enjoyed the cookies.... More

A friend and I recently stayed at the Akwaaba and we had a wonderful time. Joanna was wonderful, always pleasant and always smiling. No matter what we asked about in the area, cabs, sites, restaurants, etc., she knew the answer. And if she didn't, she was searching out an answer. One of our favorite things to do was just sit...

My fiancee and I traveled from NC to stay at Akwaaba DC in March 2012 for a romatic getaway. Having stayed there for only one night back in 2006, we wanted to truly "experience" what Akwaaba had to offer. We choose the Zora Neale Hurston room, dressed in tonal reds and pinks, which framed a stately bed weighted with beautiful... More

My husband and I recently spent time at this lovely Inn. The accommodations were inviting, comfortable, and clean. Some things in the rooms ( we stayed in two different ones) could use updating but this did not take away from our stay. The hot breakfasts were tasty and varied. The afternoon treats and drinks were very much appreciated. The concierge... More

My husband and I have been going to see the cherry blossoms in Washington for the last 4 years. When we go, we always stay at Akwaaba, D.C. We absolutely love it. Even if we miss the blossoms because of weather, it doesn't matter because Akwaaba always delivers. The beautiful decor of the house, the delicious breakfast, the scrumptious afternoon... More

The breakfast and happy hours make the stay memorable. It allows the guest to mingle and interact with each other. The neighborhood is fantastic and very delicious restaurants are within walking distance from the inn. However, the inn is in much need of regular repair. Maintenance does not seem to be one of the top 5 priorities here. Our bathroom... More
