Roomy and Great Location

Good communications with owner. Able to park on 7th in front of the home and get a parking pass from my sister located close by. About a mile walk to the Capitol and half a block to the metro. Lots of food and drink options on 8th. A Trader Joe's a block away. Perfect for two couples and two children.

Perfect

We live in a 1907 home and have great appreciation for the joy and quirks of an old home. Rita's home holds this history too but has been upgraded in a way to maximize comfort. The home is beautiful and well equipped. It is also in the perfect location for traveling around DC and the surrounding area. There are countless places to visit on foot and its proximity to the Metro is simply unrivaled. We would love to stay again and recommend without reservation.

Everything about this home was a very positive experience. It was very clean with plenty of room. The restrooms were in good condition with plenty of room and the beds and living spaces were comfortable. This is a great neighborhood to stay when visiting with families. It is just far away enough from the noise and crowds but right next to a metro station with quick access to all tourist sites. In the immediate area is a drug store, Trader Joe’s, and other restaurants and shopping. I look forward to be next D.C. visit and staying here again.

Although this home has a nice feel and the owners are polite and respond promptly, the unit itself needs work. I chose this home over others because of the pictures and amenities. As it turns out, the bathroom with the tub could not be used as the paint was peeling off the bottom of the tub. The shower in the primary bathroom is very small as is the bathroom itself. The shower head is way too high and the water pressure wasn’t good. The toilet had little water and you must wait a bit between flushes. The 3rd bedroom was extremely hot. The owners brought an additional fan on our last night, but should have in the beginning . They were aware of the issue from check in. Smoke alarms ( in bedrooms) went off in the middle of the night on 3 occasions. The owner promptly changed batteries, but this should be done on a regular basis to ensure guests aren’t startled awake. The refrigerator light was burned out all week. :It was also uncomfortable to see condoms and other peoples junk in the nightstand drawer. Attention to detail before check in of guests is not the best. The price we paid would have been high even for a luxury experience. This was far from luxury. It was average at best,

We couldn’t have asked for a better location or home. This 130 year-old house in Capitol Hill was full of charm and character, just about a 2-3 minute walk to/from the Metro, making it close to everything. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The parking permit was also greatly appreciated. We loved the historic touches and would absolutely stay here again!

Great location for a family DC trip

Great location, cool old row house and a kitchen that had all we needed for our family DC trip. Very close to walk to Trader Joe’s, lots of restaurants and the metro. Our host go us set up with a street parking pass which was great as the site does not have off street parking. Safe neighborhood parks a quick walk away as well. The house had ann interesting array of books and a few games the kids played with ( 9yr and 12yr old boys). Note this is a cool, old historic house so expect some of the expected items such as noise traveling through the house and doors that didn’t always line up to lock (also there was an another unit below us, so we were self conscious about the noise our kids caused. Was unsure about the insulation between units.). Seemed to not be a problem to stick to the quiet time policy.

Spring break in DC

We stayed here for 7 night for spring break. It's super close to the Metro "subway". I was kinda worried about using the subway, but it was very clean and safe. The host was very easy to contact. The rental is nice and clean. The building itself is old but the paint and everything is fresh with nice decorations. It even has the old fashion door knobs. I remember seeing these on my grandparents house back in the 80s. The neighborhood is very safe. We walked several blocks from the rental a few times and never had any issues. I'm leaving 5 stars on everything but here are a couple negatives if I had to find something negative. 1) The floors squeeze because the building is old. Some people might like this but we weren't use to it. 2) The parking is very limited. The host does provide a free parking permit but you may end up parking a few blocks away if you aren't lucky to find something close. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't rent a car in DC since you can take the Metro from the airport to this rental and then the Metro to pretty much all the other major sites you want to go to.I would highly recommend staying here.

Delightful home in great location

My group of friends wanted a place to stay close to the DC action, where we could sit and talk at night after our day of exploring as well as make breakfast in the morning and have our coffee. This house checks all the boxes as it is beautifully decorated, the beds are very comfortable, kitchen is very functional and the location couldn’t be beat. It’s a block from a row of restaurants and bars. As well as a small grocery store. We walked in for a tour of the Capital/Whitehouse and museums. On our last day we walked to the train stopping for breakfast. I love the art, the books, the furniture and lighting. This house felt like an upscale hang out. Rita was super quick and responsive and taking care of any of our needs

Long weekend in DC

The property is beautiful. It’s in a great location for walking to restaurants and sights seeing. We were also in town for a football game and this is a great location to have maybe a 30 min ride to the football game, 30 min to airport and great walkable neighborhood! Would absolutely stay here again.
