A really lovely home with all the amenities, charming decor and the hosts were very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a really nicely renovated and spacious home! Slept 4 adults and 2 kids comfortably. Location is good as far as distance to popular sites went. However, it is not in the greatest neighborhood, and parking is difficult as it is shared parking among everybody in the neighborhood. There was one or two times where we had to park a block or two away. Also be aware, it seems the home is run by a service not the homeowner directly. I had a pretty specific question that was answered with a canned response.

We loved this historic home that has everything we needed to cook and live while in DC. It was an easy walk to the Metro stop in an up-and-coming area. The home was wonderful!! We would stay again.

We had a lovely stay! We arrived off the train and metro in the rain with kids in the dark and we found the home easily and was able to get in with no problems. As a family of five we wanted a place that felt like an urban neighborhood but would let us relax from our sightseeing days it was definitely all of that. We felt like we were staying at a friend of the family’s home. It was very comfortable and perfect for our trip. It was very clean and stocked with all we needed. Thanks again!

What a great house! Spent a week there on a business trip, and the location couldn’t have been more ideal. Walking distance to some great restaurants and pubs, and Ubering around DC for meetings was super easy due to proximity to just about everything. Beds were extremely comfortable as mentioned by numerous reviewers! Hosts were very pro-active and communicative, always responding promptly. Would look to book this house as my first option on any return visits to DC.

A small group of us were in DC for work meetings and events and Home Sweet City was perfect. The location, the communication, and the space itself was superb. We have rented homes for the last four years while in town for these events and Home Sweet City has been the best yet. We hope to return next year!

We’ll never stay any other place when visiting DC. We loved this house! The kitchen had everything I needed to cook and bake. The bedding was superb and the large bathrooms were amazing. The living spaces were so grand – and the yard plus porch were beautiful. Thank you for the best stay we could ask for! My family had a wonderful time due to this wonderful home.

The house is beautiful and fit our family’s needs perfectly.
It is walkable to downtown, which we loved, but also accessible by public transport. It was great to park the car on the street the house is on.
Michelle was very helpful with every question I had.

We so enjoyed our stay in this lovely house! We felt immediately at home—the furniture is comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, the shelves are full of interesting books…we only stayed three nights but could have happily stayed much longer! Everything was sparkling clean and the home is in excellent condition. Check-in and communication were a breeze. We followed the instructions for parking and had no issues. The house is a short walk to many restaurants and the Metro. All-in-all a wonderful stay!

Excellent place, so far as you understand that (a) one bathroom connected to the master bedroom has a standing shower, but the other common bedroom has an old-style tub, so it is not ideal for all, (b) there are two beds for couples (king and queen) and the third pull out sofa in the very small office is a small twin bed good for a child. We had 3 adult group and it worked fine. The house is old but charming. Backyard is good.

Lovely house in a great location. Easy walk to several good restaurants, coffee shops, and bars, or a quick car ride to just about anything in D.C. Would definitely stay here again. Nice back yard, and on a corner lot with great light. The space is really beautiful.

Access
Guests will have access to the entire home, it is not shared. The basement includes the washer/dryer.
Space
Our beautifully restored & furnished historic house transports guests to another time; Federal period architecture meets Victorian and Colonial accents, blending perfectly with the modern amenities. Guests can experience "living history" at their place of respite.
We can comfortably sleep 4/5 guests in our stately house by use of the below;
- Bedroom 1 - king sized bed
- Bedroom 2 - queen sized bed
- Bedroom 3 - Twin sized sofa bed (best suited for a child vs an adult)
The main living space is a great place to relax after traversing the major sights - high ceilings and historic finishings create a spacious, airy feel to the home, and guests can expect to enter a sparkling clean, refined space to call their own.
With plenty of room to spread out and the option to retreat to private bedrooms, guests will have access to the entire home.
The interactive living room is flooded with light, making it an ideal room to unwind and converse, or brainstorm and get some work done!
There is a large TV complete with Smart streaming, and local channels - guests can stream directly from their favorite apps.
There are also THREE idyllic outdoor spaces at the home; the front porch, back porch, and spacious lush garden in the back (with dining seating). All three provide a picturesque way to start the day with a cup of coffee, or to relax with a glass of wine in the warmer evenings.
