We had a fantastic stay! The hosts were incredibly responsive and answered all of our questions quickly. They also went above and beyond to help us with the parking permit, which made things so much easier. The place was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

This stay was wonderful! Everything you could need was here. Temperature during the stay could be easily regulated. Easy clear instructions from the owner! The set up was also very cute and comfy. Only thing I will note is there are people upstairs. There was a little noise and thumping on our first morning but it was not unbearable. I have nothing but good things to say about this stay!

Our family (baby, 4 year old, parents) really loved staying here. A quick walk to the zoo, great restaurants, neighborhood parks, and a lovely multi-cultural neighborhood that at this time was filled with Halloween decorations and people out walking their dogs and babies at night. The place itself was the most kid friendly airbnb I’ve ever stayed at- from the silverware options to the toys, games and pack n play. We had a bit of a confusion with the use of the pack n play upon arrival but it was quickly resolved- I appreciate the responsiveness. I would definitely stay here again.

The apartment was just like the pictures and they offered many essentials and even ear plugs if needed. However, they did request a security deposit that was higher than the nightly rate was for three nights but we were able to negotiate a lower deposit amount. Overall nice place and area.

This place worked great for us! The bus was convenient and an easy walk. We were able to walk to Mt Pleasant downtown ate delicious Filipino food and amazing icecream! The place was clean and they had thought of everything you might need while traveling. I particularly appreciated the spices, salt and pepper, cooking oil, coffee, tea pot and the Brita in the fridge full of water. The decor was lovely and the bed was comfortable. It suited our needs perfectly and I would definitely stay there again.

The basement unit is really great! 1) Walking distance to local restaurants and grocery stores 2) around 10 minutes walking to metro station or bus station 3) the air conditioner is quite 4) the neighbors are peaceful and pretty! Overall it is a great stay for us. But one thing is that the sofa bed is not pretty comfortable

The Kilbourne cottage was actually better than expected! Extremely clean, and I don’t say that lightly, as I’m one of those annoying people who Lysols down a hotel room or Airbnb before touching anything:). No need for that here. Instructions were very clear and easy to understand. There is background noise from split AC’s and dehumidifier. But I happen to like that because it helps me sleep. Ohhhhmm. Would definitely stay here again!

Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohlgefühlt und würden sie jederzeit wieder buchen. Sie ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Nachbarschaft fanden wir super – multikulturell, Cafés und Restaurants, schöne Straßen, viele junge Familien und eine gute Busanbindung ins Zentrum. Die Wohnung wird in der Anzeige als etwas hellhörig beschrieben. Dazu unsere Erfahrungen: Wir waren 4 Tage dort und haben den Vermieter oben drüber 3 Tage kaum gehört, bis auf Trappeln von Kinderfüßen, was uns nicht gestört hat. An einem Abend hatte der Vermieter Besuch und Musik und Gäste waren sehr deutlich zu hören. Um 21h war allerdings komplette Ruhe, weshalb es für uns kein Problem war. Wir haben die Wohnung daher insgesamt als ruhig empfunden. Anmerken würden wir, dass das Schlafsofa für die paar Tage okay war, aber nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

The unit was very nice, very clean and as described in the listing. We loved the neighborhood! Parking was a bit of an issue as it is a dense residential area. I had traveled to DC from Maine to stay with my daughter after a scheduled knee surgery/rehab. We booked the unit for 8 days total as it was a 1st floor unit and easily accessible from the street, all on one floor, easy to navigate on crutches etc. Unfortunately, her surgery did not happen and was rescheduled so, not needing the space for its intended purposes we choose to leave, canceling the remaining 5 days. I issued a formal cancelation to both the host and Airbnb but was refused any type of partial refund for the days not used. Though I had thought that the policy stated we were eligible for a partial refund for days not used both the host and airbnb were unwilling to grant any refund. Just a reminder-confirm the refund policy before you book.

This place was so cute and clean. It looked exactly like the pictures. The location was great even though the neighborhood looked a lil sketchy. (Which this is only my opinion bc I am not from the city and am not used to a city environment.) However, just a heads up and just being as honest as possible, the tenants above were very noisy. I’m assuming they have children, which I tried to be understanding of, but after a long day, we would come back and someone or something would gallop back and forth about a thousand times. And we couldn’t figure out how to use the air and we’re hot our whole stay. These things didn’t deter me enough though, I would genuinely stay here again. Just want other people to be aware. If that stuff doesn’t bother you, then good! 😊

The check-in was smooth and simple, and the place was spotless on our arrival. I appreciated that a comprehensive property guide was provided several days before traveling so I could better plan, and the check-out process was quick and easy compared to some other places I’ve stayed.

Location is fun and walkable. During the less than 1 mile walk to a Safeway grocery store, there was music and sidewalk sales and such great diversity of everything, it was a lovely walk. The furnishings are pretty and plentiful: there were extra blankets and sheets, the dishes and cookware are pretty and everything we needed, there was Brita filtered water already chilled in the fridge, tea, coffee, sugar, creamer, non-stick spray, salt & pepper and a lot of spices, several appliances clean and working, fully stocked soap and lotion everywhere, noise maker, chargers of every kind, multiple lamps, and bright white cleanliness. The hosts are quickly responsive and provide a lot of community information from conveniences of places to store luggage to so many ideas of what to do in the area. It was a truly lovely stay.
