Location, location, location! The best thing about this property is the neighborhood. It was safe and very friendly (A lot of dog walkers!) You were a few minutes walk from Whole Foods, Target, Trader Joes, several restaurants, and a Metro station. We were able to grab provisions easily coming home from a day of sight seeing. We stayed over a week, so it was great to use the kitchen, washer & dryer etc.. It was comfortable, clean, and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy DC.

The apartment was great for the price. Centrally located, decently clean (some remnants from previous guests were left over). Linens were all clean- kitchen and bathroom were also clean. We were not givenThe access code ahead of time and had to call the VRBO helpLine as the hostess did not answer text messages, calls, or messages through the VRBO app. Which was disappointing as previous guests had listed communication as great. There were no instructions given for check out either.The neighborhood felt safe and everything is walkable/ public transportation useable.

The access codes were sent to Alexandra on 3 separate occasions, apologies she didn’t see it! Also in our communications we specify that there is nothing needed upon check out.

Communication was easy. Kitchen was stocked with pans, but needed a mixing bowl and measuring cups- we rented so we could cook meals. We were ok with it being an older home, but was not at clean as we expected.

Very accommodating for our trip. Good eating in area, the visit was to see museums and attraction in National Mall. Easy Uber ride to the Mall. Great for a couple or family of 4 that will be out and about in DC. Area was safe. Only recommendation I have is the host to get two visitor parking passes. A second vehicle would need to find parking accommodations. Very nice stay for what we visited DC for. Hostess was very responsive to questions.

The overall experience qas good. It was spacious and close to where we needed to go. Some helpful improvements would be directions to use the TV and all wifi information available. There could also be better water pressure in the shower. Other than that it was great! Thank you!!

This was a charming place to stay and extremely comfortable for 3 adults. The parking was sometimes tricky but we always managed to find a spot. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans and towels. The dishwasher and washer & dryer were wonderful to have at our disposal. We would not hesitate to stay again. Excellent communication with the hosts.

Great location and space

Perfect location for exploring DC. Easy walking distance to U St, AdMo, and Dupont. Super quiet and safe neighborhood. Apartment suited our needs perfectly with plenty of space, washer/dryer, full kitchen, and comfortable living room. Bathroom is a bit tight for two women and all of our trappings, but very manageable.

This unit was convenient and nicely outfitted. Cool neighborhood close to public transportation with parking, too. Host could not have been nicer or easier to communicate with. Would definitely choose this VRBO again or suggest to friends and family.
