Title: Exceptional Stay at ShortStayInDC – A True DC Gem!I recently stayed here at ShortStayInDC and it exceeded all expectations. Nestled in Foggy Bottom, it offers a prime location: just a 5-minute walk to the Metro and Kennedy Center, and under 15 minutes to the National Mall, Georgetown, and Lincoln Memorial. And, it’s such a quiet, safe neighborhood, which is a huge deal for my family.The home itself is beautifully appointed and incredibly spacious. The kitchen is a dream, decked out with new appliances and high end finishes. We found it perfect for cooking and relaxing. It is perfectly clean and sanitized, and had thoughtful extras like coffee, tea, and espresso. We also loved the private back patio, and off-street parking with complimentary Level-2 EV charging. These thoughtful extras really set this rental apart.What sealed the deal was the host’s attention and responsiveness. The digital guidebook, smooth self‑check‑in via smart lock, and warm hospitality made everything seamless.All told, ShortStayInDC is a flawless blend of luxury, convenience, and DC charm. Whether you’re a family, business traveler, or city explorer, this is the perfect home base in D.C. Highly recommended!

Andrew was an excellent host and this rental had all of the amenities needed for a great stay - coffee, spices, laundry detergent, all of the items one might need but doesn’t want to purchase for a short trip. Rental was clean and well maintained. Truly excellent! Thank you Andrew!

Perfect Location for Exploring DC

The stay was just perfect: location was on a leafy quiet street but just a few blcks away from the hustle and bustle. Metro station was an easy walk and it was just the ideal base for a trip to DC. Superb amenities and decor (modern chic) and the property has loads of character. The little touches were so nice such as welcome music playing on the alexa when we arrived and plush hand soap throughout. Andrew was so accomodating and answered all questions so quickly and was always on hand. He was the perfect host. We would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to DC!
