We had a wonderful stay! Home sweet home was a lovely place to rest and spend time with family. Our hosts were very quick to respond to our questions and very friendly in general. Their home was beautiful and very comfortable- with everything you need amenity-wise. We would stay here again – thank you! 😊

Overall the place is clean, organized, and true to the website description. the neighborhood is nice and there’s easy to access public transport and supermarkets nearby. The house is half-underground, and there’s a moldy scent you can pickup every time you enter. The company managing the apt. was very responsive, but did not accommodate our requests for luggage storage for a few hours on arrival and departure, which made the arrival/departure days much more complicated for us. Overall it’s an ok place to stay a few days, but do plan your arrival/departure hours.

Great little 2/1 lower level row home! Very clean and nicely furnished. Equipped with a nice kitchen. Shower hot and all linens were comfortable. Nice to have a washer and dryer when traveling with family. Enjoyed the private back patio. Excellent location! 7 minute walk to the Metro convention center stop with yellow and blue lines that take you two stops down to the Archives and National mall. Very walkable overall, to Giant grocery store and many restaurants, including those in Chinatown.

Really enjoyed our time. Very easy access the metro to get to everywhere in DC. We ordered food and visited a couple of the restaurants in the surrounding blocks. Easy grocery store access also. I would highly recommend Unconventional Diner as a local restaurant. The food is so good! Great for dining in and taking out.

This Airbnb is clean, close to the convention center, and offers great on-site utilities. However, the hosts are hard to reach and the area itself is unsafe. We were locked out of the Airbnb our first evening due to cleaning crew taking the key (there was no spare). The hosts offered to cover dinner for the hassle, but took the offer back to cover only half after (we had them approve the restaurant beforehand). While we were locked out, someone broke into our car parked outside the Airbnb and stole over $130 worth of alcohol and other items (which were hidden, so we were likely cased). We asked for camera footage for the police report but they did not provide it. There was also a shooting and stabbing very close by the same night. The sofa bed was all springs. I recommend planning your stay using only the two bedrooms available. But, there were plenty of linens and towels for multiple guests (we had 4 in our party). Not worth the price for the safety and communication issues.

We had a fantastic stay at this charming apartment during a business trip. The location is excellent—an easy walk to the convention center, metro station, and great restaurants and bars. The entry code and key access were smooth, and detailed instructions made everything hassle-free. The apartment is clean, super comfortable, and well-equipped. The living room was perfect for relaxing, and the breakfast nook served as a convenient working spot. Each bedroom was spacious, with plenty of storage. We ordered DoorDash, which was fast and easy. Parking on the street right in front was a major plus, but be sure to order and print your parking pass before you arrive. Our host was extremely friendly and responsive, quickly sorting out a new code for our parking pass. Highly recommend for both business and leisure trips!

A truly beautiful AirBnb! FYI: You can hear EVERYTHING of what the upstairs neighbors are doing extremely well. Wether they’re chatting, walking, vacuuming or playing fetch with their dog it’s surprisingly loud. (The washing machine right in front of the rooms doors is quieter while tumbling, so you can imagine what I mean) When you’re planning on sleeping at around 10-11:30 pm plan with a somewhat louder environment. Other than that there is really nothing that should keep you from visiting this lovely space!

Hay un supermercado a 2 cuadras, farmacia a 2 cuadras, estación del metro a 10 minutos caminando.

We had a nice stay. I must mention that the place needs better care and maybe a facelift. The drawers in the bathroom were basically falling apart, the shower is very dated and overall the house needs better furniture and care. Luckily, we didn’t spend much time in the house because we were out most of the day but once we got back to the house it felt a bit weird as the neighbors upstairs were super loud, late at night and early mornings. Also, no fan in either room, that could have made some of the background noise disappear. No TVs in either rooms, which made it difficult to fall asleep, especially because our 10 year old son was sleeping on the couch and we couldn’t watch TV in the Livingroom. Just wish I knew all of this in advance. Michelle, the host, was super responsive. The only thing that surprised us is when she asked us to take our trash and recycle out to the street, if not we would have gotten a fine. A bit odd as we do Airbnb all the time and were never asked to do that

Home Sweet City’s listing was exactly has described and pictured. We loved the neighborhood which is a couple of blocks form Giant and several great eateries. If you are walkers like us, we had no problem just heading down to the mall on foot and walking to the metro entrance was a breeze. The apartment is a lovely garden level space which is done really well; it’s not cluttered, it’s got clean lines and everything was very clean. The bonus patio space was a joy-private but still outside. The management team was really easy to contact and gave great instructions. We would definitely stay here again. The only challenge we had was parking–this is everywhere in DC. However, getting a parking pass was really easy because of the process Home Sweet City has in place. Patience is a virtue; we got a spot where we could have left the car the whole time but we had access to our daughter’s apt garage.
