The townhouse was perfect for our family trip to DC for my niece’s wedding. The off-street parking was very helpful. The host was very helpful about reaching out to make sure our stay was comfortable.

Check in was easy. We appreciated the option for off street parking in the back on the townhouse and found everything comfortable and clean. Proximity to the Metro was great and we were able to get around easily.

The house is exactly as advertised! The location is perfectly located to some great local coffee shops, close to all the great shopping and restaurants on King St, and a short walk to Braddock Station. Janine was a great host and responded quickly to any question we had. Thanks for the great stay!

The house worked well for our family of 7. It was clean and communication was excellent, although it would have helped older renters to have information about operating tv and more directions about trash disposal etc. It was a short walk to the Metro, although we found it less expensive to drive into DC. Supermarket (Trader Joe’s) and restaurants were nearby. It was as described and we would stay here again.

Great for a family stay

We loved the location and the space. My husband and I stayed there with our four adult children. This property is only a mile from King Street, so you can walk or take a quick Uber to great restaurants and shopping. There’s a Trader Joe’s in walking distance, along with a good selection of neighborhood restaurants within a couple of blocks. The townhouse was very clean, and the rooms were comfortable. The kitchen was set up with everything you need. We were unable to enjoy the outdoor patio due to a few intermittent showers and high temps/humidity, but that is also a nice feature. If we head back to the area, I would definitely stay again.
