The apartment’s location is very convenient. Close to the shops you would need for daily needs. Whole Foods, Aldi and CVS are within walking distance. The neighbourhood is quiet. You can get a bus easily to various parts of the city. The apartment had almost all the amenities. The host is kind and responsive. Overall, this place is a peaceful place to stay in DC.

Stayed for three days/two nights with my daughter to celebrate her birthday. The location was great with nearby stores and restaurants. The unit itself was easy to find and enter, simple and clean, and provided the basic necessities. The neighborhood was friendly, surprisingly quiet, and a well-situated hub for exploring the city. The host provided clear detailed instructions, was responsive, and helpful with local suggestions. If you’re looking for a simple, no-hassle place to stay in DC, I would definitely recommend this place.

This is an amazing place very close to everything in Washington DC. The neighborhood is great, quiet and very close to many restaurants and marketplaces. The apartment have many amenities and coffee and tea they provided was very top notch. However some cons: floors are very cold (but if you come with sleepers it should be ok), the microwave is very old and noisy and it is bright in the morning as the curtains are thin. Overall, we would love to come back and we highly recommended!

The place is a typical DC English basement on H St, perfectly fine for a short stay. It’s managed by a company that was responsive but needs better pre-check inspections. When I arrived, the keypad battery was dead, so I waited outside for about an hour until someone brought a key. The technician worked on the lock for hours, left the door open (letting bugs in), and returned twice unannounced to fix it. The CO₂ detector was also beeping for a low battery, suggesting they hadn’t done a full walkthrough before check-in. Overall, it’s a good location and value if you are a tourist, but the management could be more attentive to maintenance and communication. Nothing on the owner, they are responsive and courteous. Will stay again, just needs some minor improvements on the management front.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. Although the host lists the property as suitable for up to three guests, the boiler capacity was completely inadequate—none of us were able to take a proper shower due to the lack of hot water. The host checked the system for less than five minutes in the next morning and then reported to Airbnb that there was no issue, which I found irresponsible and dishonest. Only a small portion of my payment was refunded by the host; the remainder was reimbursed by Airbnb. This level of service and accountability is unacceptable. The property also looked quite different from the photos—clearly the result of a well-used wide-angle lens or clever lighting. I ended up moving to another Airbnb that was significantly cheaper but far more spacious, clean, well-equipped, and—most importantly—had reliable hot water. Save your money and look elsewhere.

I found having their parking pass was a huge plus, so we could bike, scooter or walk to museums and monuments. The apartment was as pictured and had a comfy couch and bed. The kitchen was stocked with the supplies we needed to cook a nice meal. The neighborhood was very pretty and always had people walking around. We felt comfortable and would stay again.

Lots of Pros: Large Enough for our family of four (including two teen boys). Not huge, but bigger than a hotel room. Washer and Dryer AC that worked great! Whole Foods nearby which made it easy to get groceries (their pre-made dinners were easy and delicious). Lots of restaurants and metros within walking distance The recommended luggage storage option 10/10 Hosts experienced and responsive Con: While the area is convenient, the closer you get to H Street or a metro station, the sketchier it gets. The homeless are aggressive (like will follow you and yell comments) and there’s a lot of police presence – including a permanent officer who patrols the inside of Whole Foods. This is by no means the hosts’ fault as we saw this in other areas of DC. I’m making mention of it so that you can do your research before visiting DC. If you’re not down with having to be a lot more careful when you’re out and about with your family, you might want to stay in a different area.

The apt was clean, well organized/furnished like in the picture, and most importantly it had a fresh smell. Let’s talk about location, Home Sweet City’s location was just perfect and not too far from all the monuments and museums places in DC. The cost of Uber was so cheat that I was so happy I didn’t rent a car. Overall, I am so happy that I stayed in a clean apt and my kids had a great vacation. I will definitely stay in Home Sweet City anytime I visit DC.

We used the bus (x2) to get to the place from downtown but I recommend using Uber instead for safer reasons. The place was dirty. There was a baseball cap left behind which means the cleaning crew never cleaned that area. The couch is stained and we found dead bugs in there. The bathroom tub had brown stains on it and you have to walk through the bedroom to get there which was inconvenient for the person sleeping in the pull out couch, in the living room. Overall, the walls are dirty and the whole place is not well maintained. I don’t recommend anyone staying here if you want to stay in a clean and nice place in a great neighbourhood. It is not one of them!

Great location and very responsive hosts. House is as described and we had a comfortable stay. Recommendation for places to visit and eat was very helpful.
