About the host
Hosted by Janine Badic
I love traveling and have been to every continent except Antarctica. I had the opportunity to travel extensively during my time in the military and lived in various parts of the world.
Why they chose this property
The Navy brought me in the DMV area, and during my time here, I fell in love with Old Town. I used to live here, but I wanted more people to experience its charm, so I turned my place into a short-term rental. I enjoy hosting travelers from the US and beyond and hope they, too, fall in love with this beautiful area, just as I did.
What makes this property unique
The townhouse's location is fantastic, especially if you won't have a car. It's just four blocks away from the Braddock metro station, and there are several bus stops nearby. You can also rent bikes or scooters, or simply walk (my favorite option) to the waterfront, which is 8 blocks away, or King Street, which is 6 blocks away.
