Adequate & affordable. Lacks attention to detail.

This property provided an adequate & affordable option for our visit to D.C. The location was about a 10 minute walk to the Colombia Heights Metro station, and several shopping options. The neighborhood seemed fairly safe, but the metro station area got a little sketchy at night. We stayed in the upstairs apartment. On the surface, most areas appeared fairly clean, but honestly it could use a good deep clean & some attention to detail. Dust on the decorative panels of the interior doors, sheets that would not stay on one of the beds, plastic cover on the mattress that was very noisy with any movement on the bed, curtains that do not cover the entire window for additional light blocking, dishes that were in need of washing before using, etc.. Just had an overall feeling of being a little unkempt. The apartment really has a lot of potential, and I hope the owners invest some money & time into making it the true gem it could be.

Great location

A very convenient location. 4-5 minute walk to the subway, grocery store and restaurants. 2 Queen beds in the large central room. 1 small bed in a side room. The small side room almost works as a separate bedroom, except you have to go through the side room to get to the bathroom. 2 of the 4 burners on the range don't work. 2 working burners is enough, just check which ones they are before you start trying to cook.

Excellent spot in a great location!

This is a great spot in an unbeatable location in Columbia Heights. Two big beds and a twin bed comfortably fit five people. The couch is surprisingly comfy. The full kitchen was outfitted with a kettle and coffeemaker, and the whole place was clean and cozy. The neighborhood is lovely, feels very safe, and is walking distance to many coffee shops and good restaurants. Lois was super helpful and allowed us to check out late so that we didn't have to lug our bags around before our flight! Great communication.

Great Stay with Convenient Location

It was a short 30 min Metro trip after boarding the metro at the DCA airport to get to the nearest metro stop to the apartment. Afterwards, it was only a short 10 min walk which is super convenient, because you can use the Metro to get within a short walking distance of many major DC tourist attractions. I recommend using Capital Bikeshare to get to other attractions like West Potomac Park that are a little more out of the way. There are a couple mild complaints I had about housekeeping - there were wet towels in their washing machine they hadn't taken care of and coffee still in the coffee maker upon arrival. All in all, it was a clean stay and didn't have the "dirty clean" feeling of a hotel room.
