Springfield Home
This home is in an up and coming neighborhood. It is an older home with hardwood floors which means there are squeaks and creaks. The layout is good with a living area and work space in the basement area. The main living area is on the main floor with the kitchen. Three bedrooms are upstairs; it is a short number of stairs to get to them. The master bath is tight on space but has a large tiled shower only. The second bathroom on the upper floor has a tub and shower combo with a little more room than the master. The third bath is off the work space area. The kitchen is small but has all the amenities needed. An odd item is that none of the windows have any treatments which means no privacy or light control. The master bedroom faces east so one certainly knows when the sun is rising. The check out process was easy and unburdensome. There was a slight delay in communication because the host was having trouble using VRBO to reply to my messages but he/she started texting me directly. One other point, typically with past rentals I have automatically received the code to open the front door prior to the time of check in but for this rental I had to request the code from the host and there was no indication in the description that I would need to communicate with them on how to receive the code.

Well stocked and great outdoor space
I stayed here with my mom and 2 sisters while we had a girls trip to DC. The house was in a very nice neighborhood which felt safe and walkable. The house was one of the cleanest vacation rentals I have ever stayed at and for someone that is a clean freak like me, that made a huge difference. There was even a lot of cleaning rags and supplies there to clean during our stay (which i loved). The twin beds are not the most comfortable for large adults since they are just a mattress on a small metal frame but the mattress is memory foam. One of the only complaints we had was the lack of window coverings. There are no curtains or blinds of any kind so when the sun came up in the morning you were waking up whether you wanted to or not! The owner was very communicative and we would definitely stay here again if we are ever in DC

Nice
Great communication from host. I believe they should consider adding some great to front bedrooms just because neighbors across the street have very bright porch lights. A little confusion checking in because of the VRBO not the hosts issue.
