Clark was the most organized VRBO host we ever dealt with, and was kind and helpful thru out our stay. The location was perfect for us...nice walk to the wharf in one direction, and to the metro station in the other direction. We had three adults which made it crowded on the first floor, it would be perfect for just a couple.

I simply could not have picked a better place to stay! Clark was such a kind and communicative host, and he went out of his way to make sure that I had the best stay possible. The apartment had everything I needed and more. Having a washer/dryer and a refrigerator was a lifesaver, as were the two AC units. The apartment feels cozy and private.The location is amazing, too. It's a short walk to the metro and the waterfront, with lots of great bars and restaurants lining the street in either direction. I never even turned the TV in the apartment on because there was so much to do within short walking distance.I will absolutely try to stay here again if/when I'm back in the DC area!!

Thank you Nicole, we’re so glad that you had a wonderful stay with us. And as you say, our central location makes it easy to get around Old Town, and we’re convenient to the metro making it easy to get to Reagan National Airport or downtown DC. We would love to have you back anytime and glad we could make it a cozy, comfortable place.

We absolutely loved our stay. The property was clean, comfortable, family-friendly, and in a great location with shops and restaurants nearby. The host was wonderful, and everything was exactly as described.Honestly, I’m almost hesitant to leave such a glowing review because I’d love for this place to remain available for our future trips! But it truly deserves the recommendation. We would happily stay here again.
