So much room

We enjoyed our trip to DC especially with the amount of room we had staying in this condo. With a family of four, after a long day of being on the go it was nice to have your own space to relax in. It came equipped with everything you could possibly need. Daryl was extremely helpful and quick to respond. I highly recommend this place! It will make your trip to DC much more enjoyable!

Great family place

Condo was exactly how it was described. Roomy, great kitchen amenities, very clean. Bedrooms were exactly what we needed for 6 people. We enjoyed being able to come back from a day of sight seeing & relax. It was nice to be able to cook instead of always going out. Metro was a short walk. Discovered the Giant Food Store, but had to Uber back!!! Short train ride on the Red line to downtown. As described by others - the neighborhood is up & coming but we always felt safe. Thanks for being a great host.

Family Vacation

This condo is exactly as described online: modern and clean. We have stayed at many VRBOs, and this condo had the best stocked kitchen of any. The neighborhood is up and coming. A metro station is four to five blocks away which makes getting around DC easy and affordable. There is also a grocery store and row of new restaurants nearby. Finally, we didn't realize this until the end of our stay, but there is a bike path that runs parallel to the metro all the way to the mall. The path, like the metro, is a short walk from the condo. Thank you for a great stay, Darryl!

Much better than you think

This property and owner was for lack of a better word AMAZING! Pictures do not do this home justice. The amount of light and open feel of this property is exceptional. If I could have packed the kitchen up and taken it with me I would have. Everything you need and a couple of things you forgot you needed but are there. The two entrances made for easy drop off and pick ups. The beds were comfortable and the desk made it easy to do work. Did I mention the Kitchen :-). If I could give 10 stars I would. My family was reluctant to come due to covid but all worries were left at the door. This property is clean. The neighbors are friendly. There is plenty to do, places to eat/grocery stores. Just a wonderful property. If you're on the fence about this home I can tell you it is well worth the jump.

NEVER RENTING AGAIN ON VRBO!!!!

This is the second and last time I’ve been duped! Let’s start with the classification of “luxury”, not even close!!! Horrible neighborhood, bars on all windows of slum properties completely surround this condo. You can hear everything through the walls. The filth & condition this condo was left in was unbelievable!! I was offered for the cleaning crew to come back (which would have taken numerous hours) and interrupt my vacation which I denied, I sent photos of all the filth to owner & I received a minimal refund. I have been ripped off. There was a dead rat in the front of condo entry. Flooded back & front patio plugged by debris & an old shower cap. Open food left in refrigerator, grease & food splattered on microwave stove & front of fridge. Wads of lint & trash stuffed on the side of the washer dryer. Used toiletries left in the shower. Dark wood floors had footprints & trash throughout condo. Rug hadn’t been vacuumed in a long time. I was charged for parking that the listing says is FREE!!! I had to request refund for that as well. Overall I would never rent here again or from this owner. It’s definitely false advertising & I paid for a filthy condo! Many people have complained in previous reviews but I had NOOOO IDEA how bad this was. Obviously they will continue to rent & keep your money as long as they are never held accountable. I have numerous pictures I will be forwarding to VRBO / Homeaway to file a formal complaint. Never again!!!! Very dissatisfied customer.

Perfect Place to Stay

We had a great experience staying here. There's parking if you want to bring a car. It's close to two buslines and a subway stop if you don't have a car or don't want to drive in DC. There was only one hiccup and that was the dishwasher was broken. Out host offered to send someone out to repair it while we were staying there, but we declined and asked for him to wait until we left. He obliged us. Also, we had great communication and quick response while we were there. The beds were nice and comfy too. If I had to complain about anything it would have been the general living area does not have a traditional kitchen/dining table so we made do with the living room table. It was only a week, but as a family that eats around a table, it was missed. My fault, though, since there isn't one shown in the listing.

DC with the fam

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very clean place and in a great location in the city away from the heavy touristy areas, but close to essentials like upper tier grocery stores, gyms, and good nice restaurants. Loved having a parking space available to access at all times. Had trouble with the wifi at first; however, Darryl was quite responsive and we fixed the issue immediately. Would stay here again.

Trip to DC to See the Sites

The apartment was very clean (like new) and well-equipped & well-supplied. Everything functioned just like at home. I especially liked the front-door and rear-door locks...feeling of being secure and no keys to lose! The location in an up-and-coming walk-able neighborhood gave us a true 'urban' feel; and we quickly learned how to find our way around DC. It was nice to be so close to a main DC thoroughfare; the rear-parking space was very convenient. (As a tip, be sure to bring your TV-streaming IDs/passwords so you can watch TV at night after a busy day os sight-seeing.)

Beautiful City Townhome

We spent four days in this well-kept, modern city townhome with our adult son and daughter and our 13-year-old grandson. The condo was clean and comfortable with many amenities to make it feel like a home away from home. The bunk beds are great for kids or teenagers and the two larger bedrooms are great for adults. We had everything we needed to cook breakfast and/or dinner and the stacked washer and dryer were much appreciated. Our host, Darryl, went out of his way to accommodate our every need. Having a dedicated parking spot out back with its own entrance was super convenient! Overall, this property provided us with a very positive experience in D.C.! The neighborhood was quiet and not far from many museums and other must-see places.

Why they chose this property

This property was built and completed in 2017 and it is one of sixteen duplex condo unit on a very quiet block. The block is constituted by mid to upper class professionals. This unit is one out of the only four duplex units reserved as rental/vacation homes. The rest of the units are very similar, there are two three-bedroom duplex units and two four-bedroom duplex units. the two upper units come with a roof deck that commands a little premium.
These units are very contemporary in nature and the interior shows all the modern amenities, these are a must-see unit.

What makes this property unique

My place is conveniently located, spacious, clean, impeccably decorated and has an included parking spot which is worth its weight in gold! An ideal setup for a large family getaway...I’m a very responsive and accommodating host! My unit is about 2 minute drive to the Metro rail stop and Rhode Island Ave where you can park your car all day for $4.95 and pay with your SmarTrip Card which is so convenient. It’s under 10 minutes total to get to downtown by the White House on the Red Line. There is a liquor store, CVS, Dunkin Donuts, Restaurant’s and supermarket for necessities within a few minutes drive or you could certainly walk it. There is no reason to pay more for less with a hotel when this place is nicer than a hotel! Come check it out and enjoy one of the hidden luxury of dc.
