Townhouse was lovely and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family of eight. It was located with easy access to everything the city offered but just enough out of the way to relax and unwind from the busy days. Hosts were easily accessible and quick to help answer questions. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Great place to stay!

Great place to stay for our visit to DC. The house was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. It’s located a simple 15-20 min walk from the No-Ma Gallaudet metro station and also near Union station. Trader Joe’s was a 10-15 min walk away, which made picking up some groceries easy.Owners were helpful and quick to respond before our stay and during our stay.It was a great stay!

Family vacation

We loved staying at this property. It was so clean and the owners were so good at staying in touch with us throughout the entire stay. The property is very cute. Our flight out was pretty early in the morning and we REALLY appreciated not have a long to do list to check out. Having transportation at this location would definitely help

Nice place near some great transit

The X2 line is only a few blocks away and is one of the easiest buses to use. If you don't mind a 20-30 minute bus ride (which is honestly nothing, just enough time to let the morning coffee kick in) to downtown it's the perfect place. Would stay again.

Nice home, responsive host

Nice house, very clean. We were a group of two families, 9 total and it felt like enough room, especially with 3 bathrooms. We had safety concerns of the area and didn't feel it was the safest place with kids.

call it home while i’m DC

This place was great for our architecture firm to call home while we were in town for a conference. Conversation isn’t access during the day, ate at Maketto which was fabulous and had a great living room kitchen to relax after long days of seminars. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A total of 5 of us stayed at this home with no challenges. The entire process of reserving all the way up until check out was smooth. The host is very informative. The home was perfect for us! It was clean when we arrived and a perfect layout. All of us would 100% reserve this home again!

Short Stay in DC with Family

From start to finish, Claire was an awesome host who was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The house was clean and large enough for our family. Everything we needed was there. The only thing I was concerned about was the neighborhood and parking. Unfortunately there is only 2 hour parking in front of the house. We had to carry and walk our luggage a block away. Also, there is a liquor store and bodega on the corner by the house that had people hanging outside and even the house across the street had people hanging out and drinking during the day with loud motorcycles and loud people. That would be the only complaint which has nothing to do with the quality of the home. Otherwise, stay was what we needed.

Clean, well appointed, great communication, but get a parking spot through an app. The metro was a bit of a hike with luggage and tired kids, so we used ride services for most days. The hosts were very quick to respond, and there was a grocery store nearby. Overall, this was an incredibly easy stay.
