My partner and I enjoyed our time here; the host was responsive and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised with the space. The pictures are a little outdated with furniture, so it made the experience even nicer seeing the place updated. The location was convenient for groceries, fun places to visit, and average travel to other places in the DMV. Overall, a good stay and location.

The property was beautiful, clean, well stocked to cook and do laundry. There were comfortable bed and sitting areas. The decorations were lovely. The location is excellent for visiting DC by bus. We experienced a persistent Marijuana odor that entered the bedroom and made that area very uncomfortable to use. Sometimes the odor was even stronger and more irritating than other times. When we arrived I informed our host that a previous guest may have been smoking in the unit because of the strong smoke odors. He said there was an air purifier in the room and he could bring another if needed. When we left the unit, we turned the air purifier up all the way. But when we were trying to sleep, we could only put it on at a lower level because of how loud the purifier is. At times we would wake up to a very strong, very, very irritating odor of Marijuana smoke entering the bedroom. It made us ill. This unit was listed as non-smoking. This is not an accurate representaion of the property and is a health and safety issue.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was accommodating by letting us check-in early and gave quick responses. However, I would not recommend staying here. It was not as clean as I would like and it was little bit rougher. The biggest reasons that I wouldn’t recommend it is because you are in someone’s basement and you can hear every move they make, the area did not feel safe, and the whole place was filled with a strong weed smell during the evening and early morning.

I appreciated that apartment was clean and a great location for my stay! Great coffee shop, restaurants and pub within walking distance, with very easy access to public transportation. I enjoyed the comfort of the bed and pillows & the extra blankets available. I also very much appreciated that there was laundry soap provided for the washer. The sounds of a child and loud bangs coming from above were annoying at times, but did not spoil the stay. Hand soap and a trash can in the bathroom would be a great addition to this apartment. Thank you for a lovely stay!

I live about 2 hrs from DC, but came here to take my daughter to a concert for her 21st bday, so I wanted it to be special. We usually stay in hotels, but they were so crazy expensive, so I checked vrbo. I am so glad I did, because THIS APT IS SO NICE!! We didn't meet the owner in person, but communicated via chat and he is so nice! The apt is under his home, but has a completely separate entrance.The door has a bolt lock with a code that he sends you the day before you get there. It was a rainy/chilly wknd, but we had no issues getting ubers or food delivery. (If you've ever stayed near Cap One Arena, you know this can be a major pain!) It has a full kitchen, but we were only there a day so only used the microwave and fridge, but it's stocked with plates and glasses and silverware and pots to cook with.I thought the bedroom didn't have a tv from pics, but it does. The bedroom was my favorite part. It has overhead lights and a pretty lamp and a window and free wifi on the tv. When we got back from the show, we ordered food and went to bed, and the bedroom was a lovely ending to the night. There's a big, soft bed with lots of pillow and blanket choices, and and air purifier in the room. I slept so well! The headboard has plugs for your phone too, which I appreciated a lot! I was nervous to book my first vrbo, but it was EXCELLENT. Saving this property because we come to DC for weekends quite a bit, and I loved it. I'd absolutely stay here again.

Our host was quickly responsive to my questions and was willing to work with me about an early check-in. The location was good for connecting with buses and the metro. The bedroom was a bit tight, but we weren’t there enough for it to be an issue. We did think that the mattress was a bit too soft. Overall it was great for the price, and we would stay there again.

Nice place - great host

Note the signs for street cleaning days before parking; we had no issue there. The address that popped up on the Maps site the day before was for the VRBO across the street, but Tambor got us straightened out. You may just want to check the address when you message ahead of time. The apartment is clean and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

1st time using vrbo

Be aware of the parking policies if you are taking/using a car-just get clarity on the days and how long you can park from the host.This was our first time ever using a vrbo and it was definitely a learning experience-it is not like a hotel where you can talk to someone immediately and get help.

Start your day at BOL cafe

Quiet, in the heart of the city. 5 to 10 minutes' walk to an excellent cafe, BOL. 20 to 25 minutes walk to Union Market where there's a variety of restaurants and kiosks including Yellow for freshly made pita.It's approximately one hour's walk to the Smithsonian museums, all of which house amazing Art, and the African American history and culture museum was top of my list; amazing.We appreciated the spaciousness of this apartment and being able to do our laundry. Slept well each night. Would like to return to this place.
