Great spot in Washington Dc. Easy walk from train station. Very eclectic and relaxed home. Individual “mini-splits” in bedroom was welcomed as it’s really hot and humid outside. Stairs are very creaky so worked as alarm clock to get kids up and moving each morning. Loved the bike theme as we biked everywhere in DC.

This was an idyllic place to stay, the communication was excellent and hosts were so helpful throughout. Beautifully private with a gorgeous and peaceful patio to relax in but also convenient for buses in any direction, as well as shops and restaurants within walking distance. Clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, just about everything you could want.

This was a great location and great place to stay. It was a little steep for our budget, but worth the extra expense for a comfortable, convenient, quiet, safe, clean, and well equipped place to stay. Parking was easy to find on the block and the host was able to share a visitor code so parking didn’t cost us anything.

A lovely 2-story townhouse with private back courtyard Stairs to the front door and narrow staircase to 2nd floor ( only challenge was when I’m trying to carry suitcase). Spacious layout, lots of windows, big DR table for eating ( or high top and stools in kitchen) , 2 1/2 baths. The queen bed was very comfy Per my teen who usually gets a pull out. The king was nice but firm and a bit low to the ground. Plenty of hot water with the showers and was nice to have hand sprayer and rain head in master shower. And a double sink basin. Stackable W/d in closet next to master. ( small loads but efficient) Neighborhood is filled with families and lovely to walk. Found some nice restaurants within a mile either direction. Big groc stores about 4-6 blocks on H st and 1/2 mile walk to Union station to catch metro or get taxi or train. Were responsive quickly to our messages and helpful with answers. I think they have a management team as the names replying varied and not “hosts”

I’m so impressed with this house and the host! They were amazing to work with and communicated quickly and with much kindness. We had an issue with the toilet in the primary bathroom our first night and they worked quickly to resolve it. In the process, they were very helpful offering tips and ideas to solve the issue. They had a supervisor out first thing the next morning and a plumber came when that solution didn’t work out. They were generous to us in the way they both fixed the issue and in the way they handled our entire stay. The way they helped was very kind. The house is beautiful! It’s a historic piece of DC. The first floor felt like home and the bedrooms/bathrooms were incredibly nice. Great kitchen and back patio. Amazing and spacious dining room for hanging out. Great living room for relaxing after a long day of exploring the city. This place is great and we’ll stay here again if we come back to explore DC!

Easy walk to and from Union Station, great neighborhood near restaurants and markets. *if* you are travelling with middle school or high school age soccer players, there is a terrific school field a block and half down the street that is open. This saved our 14 year old, who played pick-up with local club and used it for practice every night of our visit!

We stay here for a week long trip to DC. The house was great with plenty of space for the 6 of us. It was clean, had all the amenities we needed and a really nice outdoor patio area. It’s a really nice and quiet neighborhood with coffee shops, convenience stores, restaurants and grocery stores all within a couple of blocks. It is about a 1.5 walk to the capital building. We walked every day to the National Mall area to the Museums and Monuments with an infant and had no issues. It’s a safe walk through nice neighborhoods and parks all the way there. It was perfect place to stay for in the our trip. As a side note, the pull out bed in the office/bedroom is quite comfortable. I has a memory foam mattress on it. It was the one thing I was concerned about when booking, knowing I need all 3 bedrooms. We did have trouble getting the parking pass. Part of the issue was we got a rental so I couldn’t deal with the pass ahead of time. The host was very responsive, but we just couldn’t get it to work through the parking pass website. The host offered to get the pass for us if would send them our vehicle info, but by then I found convenient paid parking just a block from the house and chose to just keep our vehicle there. I would strongly recommend it. It is close, in the alley just a block away and is in and out parking, meaning you would always have a parking space waiting for you upon your return. I found it on spothero for 60 for the week.

This home is in a beautiful, historic neighborhood, which seems to have been built out around the turn of the century. It is only about a half mile from Union Station and not much farther to the Capital and the Mall. The house was very clean and charming. Be aware that there is a steep flight of stairs (16 stairs to be exact) to get upstairs to the bedrooms. So make sure you are able to haul your suitcases up there and the 10 or so front steps. The house was very comfortable with adjustable A/C and nice beds. I really liked the office area so I could do a bit of work undisturbed. This is a house you could stay for a while with plenty of storage! A few blocks away is H street with restaurants, shopping and a free trolly that runs along the street. We had rented a car and used Spot Hero to find a nearby parking spot, but actually we were able to find a parking spot on the street most of the time and never got a ticket (but that is risky). I would recommend this house!

This might be one of the coolest and most thoughtfully curated short-term rentals I’ve booked. You can tell the owners take a ton of pride in their property. This is not just a landlord rental special. Everything was perfect and well-decorated. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, which I appreciated as we cooked several meals. The patio is quiet and spacious, and the bedrooms are all well-sized for DC. As we needed to spend most of our time at The Hill, this location was also ideal. I will absolutely be booking another stay here. Thank you so much!

It’s a cute, classic older home in DC that has been updated. Owners have a lot of smaller supplies/ pantry items in the kitchen which is nice. But, there’s a lot of stairs. If you have mobility issues or trouble lifting your luggage, it could be a problem. Also, the couch in living room has feather filled cushions which could be an allergy issue.

Overall, we appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of this vacation rental. This is a very nice place! One small improvement could be made: each of our aunties nearly slipped in the hall bathtub while taking a shower; the owner should consider providing a suction mat to prevent falls. We did have one stress point: obtaining a parking permit for our rental car, since the owner clearly states they will not print permits and our flight into DC was arriving late at night. Solution: the first night of our stay we found paid parking a few blocks away and the next day visited a UPS Store in the area to have the permit printed.

We were fine and our hosts responded right away even at 10pm or so, and offered to fix it the next day, so that was much appreciated.

It completely matched the descriptions, very clean, ample supplies, comfortable beds (including the pullout!), and plenty of space for all of us. It was terrific. Will stay again. It definitely is a bit of a walk from the Mall but in terms of Eastern Market, Union Station area, US Capitol, and some of the closer Smithsonians and musuems, it is not bad at all. Near Whole foods and plenty of coffee spots.

Excellent location for spending a few days in Washington D.C. Within walking distance of Union Station and the Capital. The house is tastefully done and gives the experience of living in a Washington D.C. row house. There were three of us and with two full and one half-bath plus well designed kitchen/dining/living room it was plenty roomy and comfortable. Overall we were very pleased. Only negative is that street parking is required, but we were able to find a spot right across the street and had no issues. I would recommend this location to anyone visiting Washington D.C. and wanting to experience the city life.

We loved our stay here and would definitely choose this rental again. This townhouse has ample space and is spotless. The closets were empty, but based on how well stocked the kitchen is with high end cookware and spices, the owners must have plans to use this place occasionally. The beds: There are three bedrooms. I was concerned that since one of the bedrooms has a fold out couch, my kids would be competing for the room with a regular queen bed. But the sofa bed is new and has high quality fold out mattress. It also has a thick soft bamboo mattress cover. My son was very happy and and comfortable. The master bedroom has a quality king mattress that is very firm. It is perfect for back sleepers. The location is close to everything. But we did use rideshares for most our trips since the temperatures were in the high 90s. We’d also recommend Harris Teeter grocery delivery.
