This place was amazing! The decor was unique and so pretty, it was in a great little spot in the neighborhood, quick to get to the train station, etc. Loved having my own parking spot. Plenty of room for the family to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Everything was clean and well maintained. We locked ourselves out once and the communication was quick, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this as a great place to stay.

Thank you so much Carrie, this review truly made my day! I’m so happy your family had room to spread out and really settle in. And I have to say, the lockout situation is never fun, but I’m glad we were able to get it sorted out quickly and keep the good vibes going! The decor is something I put a lot of heart into, so it means so much to hear you loved it. Hope to welcome you all back again soon!

Great home base to explore the DC area for our family of four. About a 10 minute walk to the nearest Metro, then about 5-10 minutes Metro ride to the National Mall area. The house was really clean and became comfortable immediately. It is nicely updated. Great front porch.

Thank you Curt for this wonderful review! It means a lot to hear that the house felt like a comfortable home base for your family right away — that’s exactly the experience I hope every guest has. I’m so glad the location worked well for exploring the Mall and beyond, and that you enjoyed the front porch. Hope to host your family again on your next DC visit!

Great Spot in DC

We enjoyed our stay at The Hearth. It’s a great house with modern furnishings, a great kitchen, and super nice bathrooms. There is parking on premises or on street in you have larger than a midsize suv. The owner was responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay there again if back in DC!

Exceptional stay

Our family visited DC in early December and thoroughly enjoyed The Hearth. The place was super clean, well stocked, and the decor was even prettier than the pictures indicate. Communication with our host great. She was responsive to our questions. The location was good for us as we were visiting all the major museums and monuments in town.

House with character

Really nice redone brownstone type house, perfect for our family. Couple of things to note, the wood floors on the second floor make it impossible for any sneaking around. Bathrooms were really nice and showers comfortable. There are restaurants close by and a Trader Joe’s walking distance but bring a backpack or two. We would stay here again.

Great

Exactly like the pictures and was super clean and fresh!! Great neighborhood. We felt safe the whole time while staying here. Darlese was fast to respond back when we had a few questions. Out front there are certain days through the week that you can’t park on a specific side of the street for a few hours while the street is being cleaned so just watch out for that. We had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend this place!!

Excellent stay

By far the easiest stay ever. The house was very clean and well stocked with things like TP, paper towels, linens and towels. It’s furnished well, the beds are very comfortable. All the appliances are new, air fryer, portable fans/heaters, luggage rack…. they thought of anything you may need. Host is very pleasant and easy to communicate with. We had a SUV and parked in the back. Also rented scooters to get to and from the Metro. Quiet neighborhood.

Darlese was great at communicating for arrival and departure directions and super easy. We were able to use the available parking spot behind the row house, which was very convenient. I have a Honda Pilot and would recommend that any vehicle larger than that would have a harder time parking in that spot and instead would need to attain a street permit from Darlese. Pictures were exactly what we got when we arrived. Our stay was 5 nights and there was an abundance of toilet paper, paper towels, and towels/washclothes. The property had recently been renovated and was done in a quality manner, which is difficult to do with a charming older property. We were short walk to Metra, but ended up Ubering to the DC sites, as the temperature was colder than planned.We have to use kitchen to cook meals because we have a child with severe food allergies and the kitchen has all the pots/pans /utensils we needed. I would highly recommend this property.

Close to the Mall, White House and Capital

The Hearth was a nice place to stay for the week with friends. It had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen accessories if you want to cook and a Keurig and coffee pot. There is a parking space behind the unit. It has a garage door, but it wasn't working while we were there. The host said it will be fixed this summer. We have a Lincoln Aviator, which is a medium/large SUV. It fit with no problem, and I think the garage door would shut if working. We left it parked the week and used uber everywhere to avoid finding parking. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Plenty of towels. Had some basic staples. If you want food I would suggest bringing it with you, if possible. We all felt safe walking day and late evening. I would recommend this as a convenient place to stay. 1 1/2-2miles from main places to visit.

Lovely 3-BR

We all really loved the decor. The owner has fabulous taste and it was a pleasure to enjoy the space. The parking space was a bonus. The space was as described in the listing though we didn't see a pullout sofa in the living room. (We didn't need it though.) The location was perfect for our needs and the neighborhood is quiet at night. We did have an problem with the heat not working and it couldn't be fixed until the week after we checked out. Fortunately the weather wasn't terribly cold and the heaters helped in the bedrooms but not the large open 1st floor. We asked for and received a small refund. We couldn't find the guidebook in the unit - we looked everywhere. There is an online version but I didn't have my computer with me so it was a challenge to find it. If we need that amount of space for a future visit, we would return.

Clean house, fully equipped, great neighborhood, lots of options!

My family really enjoyed our stay here. The house was incredibly clean, very comfortable, and nicely and simply decorated. We loved having two floors to spread out (bedrooms, baths, and w/d upstairs & kitchen/dining and living room and 1/2 bath downstairs) and although there were tenants in the basement unit below us, we never saw them and hardly heard them while we were there. There were lots of towels, plenty of soap for dishwasher and laundry loads, etc. and plenty of cookware for the breakfasts and the occasional dinners that we had there. The street and nearby neighborhood is in a really safe easy-to-access-to-everything location. We didn't have a car while we were there, but there is a covered carport for one small car just down the back stairs that we had access to. It took us 10-15 minutes to walk to the Shaw Metro, but we wound up using the bus a lot and various convenient bus stops were less than a 5 minute walk away. We loved the BBQ place just around the corner, and there were easy convenience stores nearby as well as other restaurants for quick grocery supplies when needed or for take out. Darlese was quick to respond to inquiries, and check in and out was easy and uncomplicated (just need to gather towels, take out the garbage, and run the dishwasher). We highly recommend a stay here!
