There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.
The Neighborhood:
The Petworth neighborhood is trendy and popular with families and the younger DC crowd as it’s residential, but has great access to downtown. There is a true sense of community, and everyone looks out for each other; porch culture reigns supreme, families pushing strollers, and neighbors greeting each other with smiles are common sightings! Sherman Circle directly out the front door is where the neighborhood gathers for picnics, shaded walks/jogs, grassy playdates, and socializing. Traveling in town to visit your grandkids? Heading in for a family trip to DC? Solo traveler looking for a safe neighborhood stay? This is the ideal spot for you!
You will find lots of great little eateries and coffee shops nestled among the tree- lined streets. Upshur Street is just a ten-minute walk away, which boasts great local restaurants, a YES! Organic supermarket, a large playground and recreation center (with splash pad!), and a farmer’s market on Saturday mornings from May to November. Lincoln’s Cottage (off of Rock Creek Church Road), where President Lincoln used to vacation when he wanted to get away from the White House, is a short stroll from the home. The nearby Rock Creek Cemetery dates back to 1712; both the Cemetery and the Armed Forces Retirement Home are on the National Register of Historic Places.

This is the perfect spot for a DC trip. A reasonable walk to the metro, great area with restaurants and shops nearby. Host handled everything well.

Hi Aaron, We're happy the space was a great fit for you! It was a pleasure to host you and we would be happy to welcome you back in the future, should the opportunity arise.
Once again, an outstanding stay! This is our second time staying for an extended visit. Accommodations are clean, and location is convenient. We noticed a few updates from last year which were appreciated, especially the motion light at the door. we loved sitting at the picnic table with a glass of wine at the end of the day, and enjoying the neighbors garden. This will continue to be our go to place for extended stays. Thanks to the hosts.
visiting for my grandsons first birthday. home was in close proximity to my daughter's home and was super convenient. We had no problems but I am sure that they would have been taken care of quickly as the host checked in with me several times by email.
A little farther north than I usually stay when visiting DC. Still easy and pleasant walk to Metro, and restaurants, the extra 4-5 blocks eliminate the sirens and traffic noise. Very clean, thoughtfully furnished. My only complaint is returning home with a bad case of appliance envy.

Hi Sandra, We are happy you enjoyed our home overall. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
We stayed at this property for an extended period of time, weeks.
Honestly, we have not had the best experiences with another online rental app, and we were hesitant. Well, this calmed all of my fears! The location is exceptional, bus lines, bike rentals, and walkability. It was wonderful to have a full kitchen and full laundry. We had a few bumps in the road which were taken care if immediately. The host could not have been more responsive if they tried, bravo!
Upon check in the interior is dark. We figured out all the lights, so no problem. I also really liked the fact that there were 2 exterior doors, front and back, allowing a safe fire exit. There is also a table in the front of the home, and we sat and had a glass of wine several times, talking to the neighbor about her beautiful garden.
Would I stay here again? ABSOLUTELY!
