Responsive Host – We had a pleasant stay in the English basement. The place was clean, well-kept, and had easy access to the home. The only issue we noticed was with a few bugs ( it was. already said by the host and instructions was given ahead) , so having some bug spray available would make the stay even better. Overall, a comfortable spot with good value.

For being in the basement, I barely heard anything from the upstairs unit which is awesome! It’s about a 15 to 20 minute drive to the District of Columbia. Having your own parking spot is nice which is primarily the reason why I chose that place. I was able to fit my 2019 Toyota 4Runner just fine but I did have to do a couple of mini turns/reverses since it’s in a small alley and there is a car that you do share a parking space with. I don’t know how the place is at night but I felt safe during the day! I would 100% book again 🙂

A nice place to stay in Washinton DC for a family of 6 with two clean bathrooms, clean kitchen and clean bedrooms. The apartment has a nice size washer and dryer which were very useful to my family. They provided a convenient parking space for a minivan.

The space was absolutely perfect. I don’t feel the pictures do the space justice to be honest. It was the ideal space for my family that include a 5 year old. I especially appreciate the care to the smaller details of the space with quality of the soaps, beds, pillows, coffee, linens, etc. It truly felt like a home away from home. Very comfortable and cozy! We visit the area 1-3 times a year at least, and I would love to make this our regular spot!

We would definitely stay here again. It was clean, modern, chic and up to date. It was a 20-30 min drive to the Mall. It was convenient to all the things that we had planned. This is a basement dwelling so you might hear the people upstairs, but that’s expected. The parking is ideal for small cars not mini vans, but that’s to be expected in a city. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with all the right supplies to make us feel at home. Thanks for letting us use your dwelling to make some awesome Washington memories!!!

Not only was the place in a nice area but we were able to secure at a very short notice. To top it off the pricing was reasonable with a free parking space which you won’t get too much here in DC area. Definitely recommend, thanks for having us!

This was the first time I’ve used airbnb so I was nervous, but it was an amazing experience. This place was cozy, clean, and the hosts were amazing!! I booked one day less than I meant to, and they came through like a charm at the last minute! I will say that the box for the key is a little difficult to get open and I arrived after dark due to an airport delay. Being in DC, alone, for the first two nights, I was anxious about the area, but it felt extremely safe and I never had a moment of uncertainty. We had a rental car, but also used Uber and they easily showed up at the back of the property. We cooked in the house with groceries bought from the nearby grocery store, Giant, and it was easy and delicious. We LOVED the coffee house, Zeke’s, just down the street and highly recommend it. I would definitely come right back to this spot. I suggested suitcase racks to set bags on and it would help to have cabinets in each of the bathrooms to set toiletries on. Otherwise? Perfect!!

The place was just as described. It was clean, equipped and was comfortable for our family of 5, so it definitely met the 5 star review. Small but roomy and modern with IKEA decor. Very clear instructions and good communication. It felt very private even if it’s attached to a home. I did want to add that having a car seems important if you’re staying here. It was great that they provide one parking spot. It is located about a 20 minute drive from downtown DC, which is where we spent most of our time. The kitchen is pretty equipped but some extras such as a serving and mixing bowl would be helpful, as well as small spoons and measuring cup. Maybe an extra cutting board and a pizza tray for the oven. Easy things to add that can make cooking and serving easier, even for short stays. I really liked their appliances. Great W/D. Highly recommend!

The house is very clean and match the description.

The space is also really nice, both bedrooms have its own bathroom. All appliances look new and clean and they have pretty much everything you’d need to cook something. Plenty of space in the backyard to enjoy the sun too. Will definitely recommend this place to others.

The hosts were incredible from the time I’ve spoke with them before the reservation and helped through the entire process of the reservation and stay to make sure that all my needs are being met before I booked. Always respectful and ensure that I and my family are comfortable. I traveled with a child with disability. They were understanding and made sure that their place can meet my needs. Parking provided was great and private. I felt like I’m staying with a friend in a beautiful garden apartment that was very spacious for five people extremely clean and inviting. Short 10 minute walk to Metra and a small shopping area. Me and my family highly recommend staying with home sweet city!!

Positive- this place is really close to the metro. Overall this place is great, for max 4 adults (2 couples) plus maybe an older child. Im saying this based on available sitting space for when you are actually in the home. There is one small couch, which is the 3rd bed. Wouldn’t recommend hanging around at the place based on seating availability, however you shouldn’t really be there much cause it’s D.C. and you should be out exploring. Negatives- We have 4 small kids and not much is kid friendly. Glass furniture and breakable decorations. Exposed extension cords for lamps. Also there were 3 forks and spoons. It’s a good price for what you get, it’s just not big enough for my family. But overall, a good stay.

We were able to walk to the Metro no problem to get around the city, walked to dinner/dessert with no problems and even got to enjoy the neighborhood halloween decorations. The space was exactly as advertised and perfect for our group of 4. Could hear noises periodically from upstairs, but it wasn’t enough to cause any problems.

The apartment is adequately equipped with all the essentials – including plentiful supplies of shampoo, conditioner, bodywash and lotion – which was really helpful. Everything was as advertised – except the noise bleed. We heard nothing at all from the home above (though I doubt the reverse could have been true)! Each of the 2 bedrooms has direct access to a full bath – but one of the bathrooms is also accessible from the hallway. Hand towels were provided for kitchen and bathrooms, as well as dish towels and a dish cloth. A stacked, large-volume washer/dryer combination is usefully positioned by the kitchen. And for coffee lovers there are both filter and French press machines available. We had an enjoyable long weekend in DC via easy access to the Metro red line and can definitely recommend this rental – particularly if your party can be accommodated in the two queen bedrooms.

If you are planning to cook and need them – bring measuring cups and spoons because there aren’t any, but the kitchen is equipped with everything else, even spices and cooking oil. A fantastic stay, quiet inside and out and a good amount of light for a basement apartment.

Very nice and clean location. Everything was as described and it was a good location. It was only a 10 min drive from downtown. The hosts were nice and very communicative. They made sure to check in on us and see if we needed anything. Would highly recommend and stay there again.

Just like the description!! Rare find in DC for an affordable price. Instructions we’re very clear especially since we we’re a bit uneasy it was the back part of a home. We loved there was free private parking and private entrance. Home is very clean and has all important amenities.

Easily our new favorite place to stay in DC. There were all sorts of amenities to make us feel like home and the host was super responsive. Looking forward to staying here again!
