Positive: L’appartement était conforme aux photos présente sur Booking. Il était confortable avec un espace correct et un bel aménagement. Il était proche du bus qui pouvait nous envoyer au centre-ville. Il y avait déjà le nécessaire pour pouvoir faire la cuisine (huile beurre sel poivre et même du chocolat au poudre pour le petit déjeuner) et même des produits pour la lessive. L’hôte répondait rapidement à nos préoccupations. Negative: Le ménage a été facturé mais n’a pas été fait pendantqu’on y etait.. La climatisation met un peu de temps pour rafraîchir l’appartement. Cela nous obligeait des fois à laisser la clim tout le temps allumée (pendant les périodes de forte chaleur). Il fallait prendre les escaliers depuis l’extérieur pour accéder à l’appartement (L’accès peut être un peu difficile si vous avez beaucoup de valises et peur des hauteurs) .

It’s a beautiful location and apartment. However most appliances are half working. Refrigerator has ice maker that doesn’t work,dishwasher needs a hard push on the door to start and its difficult to know that unless texting a host.Washing machine left grey spots on my white kids clothes. no drinking water available besides a tiny filter pitcher,refrigerator made phone like noises when tried to make ice but no ice were produced.The steep stairs is a challenge with 2 small kids and a bunch of luggage. Insects in the bathroom are casually there all the time.The tv wasn’t available because it required to log in to some other’s account.The ac didn’t do good on cooling plus it’s very noisy.The requirements of throwing away the trash is a huge problem as it’s very difficult to locate the bins, and hard to do with kids.I left the place clean, the company tried to blame me in some hole in the wall by sending me picture not from the property I stayed at,eventually they apologized for the mistake

In addition to this being a fabulous place to stay within minutes of all that the Smithsonian and our Capital has to offer in Washington D.C. it was Very close to miles of beautiful trails to walk, run, or bike, and withing 7 minutes of the Smithsonian National Zoo (–which was an incredible experience itself!). Also, the owners of this beautiful home were fabulous people that made us feel welcome from the start and gave great recommendations of what to do, where to park (when downtown), and what not to miss. . . the home was Great, with lots of light, and the people were too. We look forward to our next opportunity to visit!

This was a fairly solid rental but some odd rules that are fairly strictly communicated in conjunction with a relatively steep price mean I wound up feeling as though I was staying in a hotel, not so much a home, and it was a bit stressful at times in that regard. The location is not ideal, a very long way away from the nearest metro connection, and at the same time awkwardly far from anything else (park/cafe etc.). Overall, fine.

We had a great experience staying here. There’s easy access to public transit and the home is well stocked with essentials. The place was clean and looked just like the pictures. We did have to communicate with them about some issues with their appliances, but they responded in a timely manner. Additionally, there was an issue of inconsistency between the check out listed on Airbnb site and their instructions, but they were accommodating and professional when clarifying. All in all I would stay here again.

As others have mentioned, the stairs leading to the front entrance are a bit tough to navigate with a suitcase. When these metal stairs become wet, as was the case for me, you really have to be careful going up and down. The apartment itself is bright and cheery! It is quite comfortable with a fully functional kitchen, marble bathroom and a wonderful bed mattress for a good night’s sleep. In addition the apartment is spacious for a party of two. There are a number of restaurants within a six minute walk of the apartment that also make it a good location. I would recommend this apartment to someone wanting privacy and quiet after spending a full day exploring DC. Enjoy!

I would definitely recommend this home. The home was very nice and comfortable, especially for a longer stay. The windows make it much nicer than other basement units in the dc area that have no windows. The host had the basic necessities you need so you won’t need to worry about any of those. This is noted before booking and many people have stated it but the steps to get up to the home are a little steep especially if you have heavy suitcases. My only comment would be that if you are staying during the winter months the radiator heaters only heat the home to what felt like 68-70 degrees. (There’s no thermostats to tell for sure). So you may want to bring sweaters and sweatshirts for relaxing in the home if you prefer it to be warmer.

I have not been to D.C. in over 25 years & this Airbnb was in the perfect neighborhood & location! Loved the historical feel of this unit, but wasn’t quit use to the radiator-heated feature. HSC was very responsive providing us with awesome space heaters. Kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary kitchenware, dishes, glassware, & utensils. The water pressure was great, but water temperature not hot enough… I suspect that was for safety purposes since it is lodging for children, etc. Overall the private entry was great, but like many other reviews the steep outdoor stairwell access to the unit was rather terrifying to navigate, especially when “wet”. Thanks HSC for a great stay!!

This is a great Airbnb overseen by an annoying management company. For example: They insist you take the trash out—despite the fact that guests pay a cleaning fee—but you then have to find the location of the bins because it is inaccurately described in their stock messages. Communication: Lots of unnecessary, “fake nice” form emails. “Is there anything we can do to make your stay better?” they ask. If you reply that a fairly standard check-out time of 12pm would be helpful, they’ll say sure – but cough up $60. You get the picture. Again, this is a great space being run by a crummy management company. While I think this is a convenient and comfortable Airbnb for a weekend in DC, I wouldn’t recommend Home Sweet City. I would recommend avoiding Home Sweet City, in fact.

I traveled alone and felt comfortable coming and going at any hour alone. Checkin in was easy and Michelle is very responsive she checked in daily to ensure things were going well. An issue came up with one of the appliances and she made arrangements to send someone over the same day. I declined because it was a small issue that didn’t inconvenience me. Another great stay.

They have everything inside the apartment that you don’t need to worry about if you forget to bring it from home. Michelle was very responsive and answered our questions right away. The place is not closed to metro train stations. I found it is not a problem cause it was a very short distance drive to all the DC museums. All you need to use is the Parking Apps to find parking garage near the museum. For our family of 3, it’s much cheaper than riding on subway. Overall I will rented this place again next time when I visit DC.

The place is cute but I wouldn’t go there again. first time I honestly regretted not staying in a hotel. As soon as you walk in there’s a smell that the place hasn’t been opened for air circulation in months and the stains all over the carpet and bed covers made me feel like the place isn’t being clean properly. We only had 1 hot day and it was horrible, we felt like we couldn’t breathe, we even tried opening all the windows but that didn’t help. We were disappointed with the place and the priced paid we could have gotten a nicer hotel for that price.
