We stayed here in order to visit family in the hospital and the location was perfect for us. Easy access to the hospital but also to grocery stores and restaurants, and several routes to get to other parts of the city. The host is super responsive and helpful. The apartment is clean and modern and comfortable. A great place to stay!

Comfort and Convenience done right!

We had a great stay at Comfort in the City! Unloading was super easy, thanks to the no-parking zone right in front of the street-access unit. We never had any problem finding parking nearby during our stay.The space was very clean, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked. We appreciated the welcome treats—water, coffee, teas, and even candy!The motion-sensor lights were a nice touch in the unit. The laundry area and kitchen had everything we needed. Aye was a wonderful hostess and was always available to answer questions when needed.With bus stops and a corner market nearby, the location was perfect. We highly recommend Aye's place and would love to return someday!

Stay here!!!

Ayo was the best host you could ask for in the city. She was extremely responsive and I had a lot of questions. The inside was very clean and well prepared for our visit. The neighborhood had some "sketchy" people, but we never had any issue!!! Also, the pink store to the right less than 800 ft away had some if the nicest people working there. The prices were very reasonable, too FYI. Overall, this was one of the better stays we have had and I would absolutely stay here again!

Great vacation

Aye is amazing. This apartment is very cozy, well set up and comfortable. If you’re planning on using public transportation, you’ve got several bus routes close to you within a 5 minute walk. You have a small store that has some baguettes and pastries almost next door. Very yummy The apartment is equipped with everything you need. Aye makes sure of that. She is very accommodating and communicative and so easy to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you again Aye for everything!

Beyond my expectations!

All I can say is, wow! It was more than expected and then some. Check-in was easy. A big plus for me is that the entrance is at the front of the house compared to being in the rear or alley which is a plus when getting back late in the evening. Also, security lightning. Great location close to everything within 20 to 30 minutes especially Alexandria, VA. There’s a market a throw stone away which had the best egg and bacon croissant also they have bar which you can pregame for about an hour before heading out. Aye was great! Great instruction for an easy stay. Awesome shower, comfortable bed and the washer / dryer and ironing board / iron was a definite plus. Definitely lives up to its name, Comfort in the city! Will most definitely book again when back in DC!!

Excellent home away from home!

From the beginning of our contact with Aye, we felt at peace with our selection of "Comfort in the City" as a place to spend several days during a visit to our daughter in DC. Aye was an excellent communicator, both before and during our stay. She supplied us very useful information about local shopping and eating establishment. She went out of her way to make sure we had our parking permit, after I had forgotten to send her my vehicle information. By the way, we've had a number of trips to DC where we drove and had to deal with finding parking in residential areas. At "Comfort in the City", we had no problem finding parking, during our 5 night stay, on the same street or just around the corner (by the corner market). The apartment was very comfortable. There was abundant seating areas, a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table, and a very nice bedroom with a comfortable bed. We found the place to be very clean and well-stocked with the usual items needed for a stay like this. The easy, street-level access to the apartment was a wonderful surprise! The security of the place is excellent. The location is excellent and the neighborhood is great. It's conveniently located to take in the DC sights and happenings. On our walks and shopping, in the area, we encountered people who were very pleasant, helpful, friendly. Different than most large cities. We highly recommend staying at "Comfort in the City"! You will enjoy it! Frank R. Nashville Tennessee

Comfy and cozy

My husband and I came to visit family for birthday and a wedding anniversary celebration over a 5 day stay. I caught the subway which was a bit of walk with luggage but otherwise no problem. We rented a car and had no problems parking on an otherwise busy street. Only disappointment was a few items missing in the kitchen like a cutting board and something to make a salad in and food storage .. But our host was very accommodating and quickly responded to our wishes. Very comfortable and cozy

Truly Comfort in the City

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It was everything we needed and exactly as it was described in the post. It was quiet and cozy. The neighborhood is charming. There are a variety of eateries within walking distance. We found a charming market on the corner. We used Capitol Bike Share bikes to get around and there are several stations close to the apartment. Correspondence with the host was helpful and prompt. We definitely recommend the property. It truly was comfort in the city!
