Elizabeth was an absolutely wonderful and caring host!!! Communication was perfect. She goes above and beyond to make your stay a memorable one!! She was awesome!! Now, the place: 1) The neighborhood is beautiful and safe!! 2) Parking is free and unlimited, 3) 15 min walk to the metro, 4) full kitchen, 5) washer and drier.

Everything you need

The communication with the host was fantastic from the very beginning, even when I had a couple changes in schedule. The basement apartment, While looking like your relatives Guest room, it has everything you need washer dryer, kitchen, and an extremely comfortable bed. The neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous and worth walking through and you can also walk to Starbucks and several restaurants and a smoothie store and CVS. Close to the metro this is a great place for someone to stay, who wants to get out and explore the city!

The property was comfortable and very convenient. It was well equipped and in a lovely neighborhood. The bathroom is very small, and a bit of a squeeze. The only problem we had with communication had nothing to do with the property, but with VRBO: Every time I clicked the place indicating "click here to go to "Access your rental" I got a message telling me the site was not working.

Cozy spot conveniently placed for travel

This room is small, but comfortable, and has all the basic necessities for a nice stay. Brita Filter, Kuerig machine, pots and pans, cups, plates, and bowls, are provided along with a Fridge, Microwave, stove, and oven. The bed is comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, making for nice sleep. the house is a 15-25 minute walk away from both the Tenleytown AU and Friendship Heights Metro stops, making travel to Maryland, Virginia, and Downtown DC relatively simple.

Lovely little apartment in fantastic, quiet residential area

Lovely little apartment with everything you need! Easy check-in, well-cared for, and well-appointed garden studio, with a full kitchenette, comfy bed, good-sized bathtub, and awesome tv with netflix. Thoughtful details, like fresh bottles of drinking water in the fridge, which was especially appreciated after a long drive. The property owner was also so kind and accommodating with a last-minute check-in change request. Quiet neighborhood near American University, lots of restaurants and some shopping too within walking distance. Ample street parking, and quick and cheap ubers everywhere you want to go. Will stay here again, awesome property and awesome host!
