In Conde'Nast Traveler magazine's November 2008 edition, page 77, an article titled "BIG-CITY B&B's list the Maison Orleans B'nB as one of the best in Washington DC. This article appears just as the Maison Orleans celebrates its 20th anniversary. This beautiful old federal front row house built in 1902 is furnished with lovely family pieces from the 30s and 40s which give you the feeling of grandmother's house. The house was originally designed with three rooms on each floor, and included indoor plumbing as well as electric lighting. In 1961, it was renovated, the kitchen relocated, and the basement dug out for height regulations, and transformed into additional guest rooms.

Nestled between the "Capitol South" and "Eastern Market" metro stations, the house is a block and a half south of Pennsylvania Avenue and just a few doors from the police station. Eastern Market, a produce and farmers market, is just around the corner. The U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and the Mall are just six blocks away. Tourmobiles are available from these locations. Local bus service is located just around the corner. Many restaurants, banks, cleaners, and shops are located within easy walking distance.
