Great stay and perfect location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a delightful stay at the Georgetown VRBO, which happened to be a perfect location for us. It was close to our daughter's apartment and allowed us to walk easily between the two. The rental was very nicely done, small but efficient, and would highly recommend it for a couple or small family.

Beautiful Doll House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We miss our beautiful DOLLHOUSE! We had a lovely stay here and thoroughly enjoyed the location and the property. I stayed with 2 of our youngest daughters who were on spring break and it was absolutely perfect! Street parking for non residents is only 2 hours or overnight. You can either park in a garage for your stay ($25 for 24 hours) and taking Uber to sites OR you can get a resident parking pass from the local police station with your lease agreement.

College visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had never been to Georgetown before so we didn't really know where to stay. We luckily ended up in the most perfect spot. Great access to all that the wonderful neighborhood has to offer. Easy access to all of DC and the DC area in general. Tight quarters for sure. Great as place to comfortably sleep. Very well appointed. We got lucky with parking but I can see that as potential problem. "Cosy" to the point where it was hard for the four of us to settle in together during downtime, or to get ready to go out. If you need a beautiful place to stay with a great location it is perfect. If you need space for a family to enjoy inside time together it's a little tight.

Charming Georgetown retreat.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I recently stayed at this charming property in Georgetown. It's in a fantastic location, just a couple of blocks up from the main shopping drag and in a very walkable neighborhood. D.C. was just a short distance. You'll have no shortage of things to do and places to grab a bite. The property itself is wonderful. It is on the smaller size and so perfect for a couple, or three people. Four might be a little bit of a stretch but definitely doable. We found it spotlessly clean and very well provisioned. I would happily return next time I'm in the area. Parking was easier than I thought based on previous reviews but still something to be dealt with. I used the suggested app and found reasonably priced parking during the day. Thanks again for everything.

Nice but small, very small

This is a small, very small house located in the beautiful neighborghood of Georgetown. The house has all the amenities except a dishwasher. It is so small that it is really convenient for one person, although it has two bedrooms. The bathroom is very small. Communication with the landlord was excellent. So, a dollhouse, but fine for a short time.

Perfect Place for a Long-Term Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was amazing for two summer interns! We stayed for a month and the place was beautiful, well-organized, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Some particular highlights: the private patio is SO lovely, the bathroom has a skylight which is amazing for mornings, comfiest couch (we loved the throw blankets), and very fast wifi - much appreciated for remote working! The neighborhood is super safe and quiet, plus the place is conveniently located next to a bus stop which made commuting easy. The place is also only a short walk to Wisconsin Ave shops and restaurants which we loved, and just down the street from the house is a grocery store which was huge for us! Charlotte & the team were so helpful and communicative throughout our stay. Charlotte even put together a fantastic working/studying area for us - she thought of everything! Can’t emphasize enough how incredible of a host she is. Would highly recommend staying here for anyone visiting DC :)

Truly a Gem

I highly recommend this rental, lovely place, central yet quiet. I would only add that the stairs are steep so be careful with small children or for yourself! There are excellent handrails, the steepness is normal in Georgetown. Super location, very clean

Charming and tasteful cozy home in Georgetown

We were fortunate enough to book this place last minute after another rental had plumbing issues! Charlotte was amazing and helped facilitate check in the next day (even having the cleaner come with little notice for a new renter). The location could not be beat - easy walking distance to the water, main shopping area of Georgetown, and yet quiet and tucked away at the end of a residential street. It was small but cozy - perfect for our family!

Great location, lovely little house

Location could not be better. Property is small scale, as advertised, but was just fine for me and my two children and we were out all day. Very clean, with all the basics you could need and close to Georgetown’s main strip, lovely parks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was immaculate and well-supplied. The only two notes i would make are that it is quite small. And we had a little trouble getting the right temperature with the thermostats. But I would highly recommend the Georgetown Gem.

Upon Arrival

We never received the information package for our stay. I had e-mailed the contact person a week before and did not receive the information. Upon arrival we called and receved the information to enter the home. The information package contained information on parking and internet access. After several frustrating calls and e-mails we received the information the next day. There was laundry in the washer dryer. The home and neighborhood were lovely. I would suggest a warmer welcome. There were very limited items to make for a comfortable weekend....no napkins...one dish towel....very few paper towels, no welcome information except what to do with the trash. The apartment heating system was extremely loud....like a jet plane. I'm sure it would be lovely in the spring and fall when no heat is necessary.The apartment was lovely but very small. The queen size bed in the master bedroom could only accomodate one person because the bed was against the wall. The room with the twin beds was much more comfortable. We love Washington DC but will not use this property manager again.

Georgetown Gem

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was beautifully maintained but two small for two tall people. The bedroom with queen size bed could only accomodate one person as the bed was against the wall. The bathroom was clean, but extremely small. My husband is 6'3" inches and struggled. The skylight in the ceiling did not close making the room quite uncomfortable. There were two napkins and one kitchen dish towel. A few paper towels did not suffice. The heating system is as loud as a jet plane.. very warm (And Loud) when on and quite cold as soon as it turns off. There is a lovely small enclosed pation which is probably lovely in the warmer months. The most difficult issue was that the initial arrival package did not arrive. We had no key code, no internet information, no parking information, no restaurants or transportation information. After many phone calls we received the information halfway through our 4 day stay. I have been reluctant to write this review. I would not recommend this rental service.
