The neighborhood was quiet and pretty with a park at the end of the street and lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Be advised, the walk to the zoo is 20-25 minutes; I expected a little closer but easy walk nonetheless. Good-sized apartment for a party of 3! Would not recommend more. The entryway is extremely small, and the shower ceiling height is a bit low, so if you’re much over 6’ might want to reconsider. As an older building, it definitely has its quirks, but I appreciated that the A/C units were more than adequate to cool off the place. Parking on weekends – wowzers. It’s tough. I was lucky to find a spot on the street for my minivan and chose to keep it there until I absolutely HAD to drive. One more note – I wasn’t expecting a management company as a host vs. a couple. They were helpful and responsive though. Overall, a fantastic stay!

It was honestly exactly as described, and a real home away from home! We ended up extending our stay the first day we arrived. The apartment is gorgeous and the host is very thoughtful. We found tea, coffee, pasta you name it in the cupboard. It is located in a calm neighborhood, 2 blocks from a park which was perfect for my toddler and I. I will definitely be staying there again on my next trip to DC!

This is a very nice and clean apartment in a charming neighborhood. It’s on a quiet street that is still only minutes away from Adams Morgan and with access to plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants. Rock Creek Park is nearby which makes it easy to seek out the beautiful nature DC has to offer. The only very minor issue was that the WiFi was sometimes unreliable, but never for long periods. The property managers were extremely responsive and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to stay here again.

This is my second time staying at this location, both times for work travel. It is perfectly located, in one of the city’s best neighborhoods – very walkable and close to public transportation. Wonderful restaurants just around the corner and easy access to beautiful walks in Rock Creek Park and the zoo. Home Sweet City are terrific hosts and the apartment is perfectly set up with very helpful supplies (toiletries, coffee) to welcome your arrival. Comfortable bed and lovely, quiet street. Recommend as a great home base for sightseeing or work-related travel.

This is the second time I have stayed at a property managed by Home Sweet City and they are great to work with. The descriptions of the property are very detailed and accurate and they are outstanding communicators. This property is on a beautiful and quiet street in a wonderful neighborhood. The warnings about the narrowness of the entry is no joke. I’m not. Big guy, and I had to be extremely careful each time we entered and exited the property. The unit was clean and spacious. The WiFi was a little spotty but it did the job. Other than that we had no complaints!

This was absolutely THE PERFECT AIRBNB for a weekend staycation. This was for my mom, grandma and sister and they were completely obsessed with the place. The location proved to be perfect because local restaurants and groceries were so close by and very walkable. The place itself was SPOTLESS and so cozy and the perfect size for 3 people. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone that wants to be in the HEART of DC with easy access to so many other neighborhoods.

This Airbnb is set on a nice and quiet side street, but is still only a short walk from many restaurants, shops, parks, the zoo, metro stations, etc. Home Sweet City was a great host. They provided a lot of clear information leading up to my stay, and were very responsive/proactive with communication throughout it. The internet was giving me some issues when I first arrived, and they were quick to reply and offer to connect with the upstairs neighbors to reset it. Everything was very clean (spotless, well-equipped kitchen), and comfy (bed done up like it would be in a hotel). Despite being basement level, there still felt like there was a good amount of privacy. I’d recommend this stay for anyone looking to have a nice “home-base” to return to while going out and exploring the area.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an Airbnb in Washington, D.C., and it truly made my trip memorable. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cozy interior design, complete with comfortable furnishings and soft lighting, instantly made me feel at home. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the carefully chosen decor to the well-stocked bathroom which allowed me to take care of my needs. One of the highlights of my stay was the location. This Airbnb was nestled in a charming neighborhood, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city while still being conveniently close to all the major attractions. The host’s hospitality was exceptional, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring that my stay was as comfortable as possible.

It was also pretty close to all the DC sites by car. Although we didn’t cook there, it did seem to provide anything you’d need! Make sure to follow the instructions for parking that the host provides. It was a game changer! I would 100% stay here again!

Had an excellent stay at Home Sweet City. The apartment is located in a quiet street but you are within a few minutes walking distance to the lively Adams Morgan neighbourhood, you are next door to Rock Creek Park, and there are some great restaurants and a big supermarket nearby. The only well-advertised downside is the rather cramped doorway entrance, but even for a big guy like me that did not prove to be any issue at all (one just needs to duck 🙂

Ideal for 3-4 persons, safe peaceful leafy neighborhood walking distance to the zoo, Adams-Morgan for restaurants/nightlife, and the subway/buses to museums and sights. A/C units functioned great during the summer heat. Homey furnishings with ample kitchen space. Linens were clean and fresh incl. the spare ones for the pull-out sofa. Although it was not a concern for our group of 3 younger adults, the entrance does have some steps that those with mobility concerns should inquire about. We parked one car easily on the street using the DC visitor permit as advised by owner(s). We would be happy to come back for another stay!

Some of the individual touches that make a stay extra nice – lovely, large bath towels, plenty of bathroom and kitchen products, great water pressure in shower. Comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, comfortable bed, temperature control for unit was easy. As has been mentioned – it is a tight entrance and an English basement, but once inside felt light and bright, and very comfortable. We will choose this location again for a trip to DC.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The location can’t be beat, and the management company was very responsive when we faced a couple minor issues. Everything was very clean. The bedroom is big enough to accommodate a queen sized inflatable mattress, which allowed us to keep the living room usable for our family of four. If you’re a big cook, be aware that the basics are there, but not a lot of plates, bowls etc. We just washed everything after every use instead of waiting for the dishwasher to fill up. Would stay again – hopefully during a less busy time when prices are lower.

We loved this apartment. Comfortable furniture with several nice touches to make the place feel warm and homelike. The small opening to the entrance really is tight and has steep steps. I’m 6′-1″, 195 lbs, and I had to twist a bit to get in without hitting my head on the bricks. So I wouldn’t recommend for someone that is very large or with mobility issues. But once inside, we felt very safe, warm, and cozy. We will definitely consider staying here again!
