We highly recommend this adorable home! It’s located in a safe, family oriented neighborhood and within walking distance to union station, the capitol, museums and lots of restaurants. It is supplied with all the necessities and the owners are quick to respond to any questions or needs. Off road parking was also a huge plus. When we return to DC we will be booking again!

Perfect location, responsive host

Our family if five had a great stay. The space was perfect, with plenty of sleeping options for our older kids. Location was beautiful and was within walking distance of the capitol and other DC hotspots. The water heater went out and the host was super quick and responsive to the issue. He even treated us to dinner at his restaurant during the repairs. We would definitely recommend and/or stay again.

Cute Home with Kind Hosts

This was a perfect stay for us! The home is in a cute little neighborhood, walking distance from restaurants and coffee shops. The check in and check out process was extremely simple and straight forward. Unlike other experiences I’ve had, these hosts don’t ask for much from their guests. They are extremely kind and easy going. We plan on coming back to D.C. in the future and if this property is still listed we will absolutely be staying here!

Perfect for our needs

The property is perfectly located for getting to the Hill and only regret is that we were working or sleeping the whole time , and so had no chance to enjoy the amenities. Also, needed an early check in and late checkout that wasn’t available because of other guests. But it was fine all the same and would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Christmas in DC

We visited with our kids (6,7) and my in-laws over Christmas. The six of us fit well and there was plenty of sleeping space. Only downside is a tight kitchen but we made it work. The house was well stocked which was fabulous and the grocery store was only .5 miles away. We walked to all the museums (about 1.2-1.5 miles) and found easy street park on in g by the national Mall. Neighborhood was super safe with a park across the street that was perfect for kids 4 and younger.

Stayed for the week while daughter was at camp.

Great location. Having a parking space was a huge benefit. Walking distance to the Capital, etc… Apartment was clean. King bed was great. Host lives upstairs in building and was able to fix an issue with the code key (batteries) right away. Beautiful neighborhood. Driving in DC is very confusing so walk, bike, scooter, bus or Uber when you can.
