Spacious old remodeled house in vibrant neighborhood
House was clean, well lit, and had spacious rooms including a very large and well-equipped kitchen. The private parking spot accessible from the alley behind the house is very convenient but a bit tricky to pull into. The one issue in the kitchen was that there was no coffee pot, so had to be creative to make coffee. Location was close to groceries and restaurants and very convenient for getting anywhere in DC. There is a very nice remodeled bathroom off one of the bedrooms. The only other issue with the house is that water seems to leak from that bathroom into the ceiling of the living room.Overall this was a fantastic place to stay with just a few minor issues. We were there only two nights and so didn’t attempt to get these addressed.

Loved the mixture of old and new in this property! The hot water radiators with a Jenn-Air gas range made everything very convenient.

Great family vacation
The house was a perfect location. Very easy to drive to the tourist attractions. We really liked having the private driveway and parking spot in the back. The only complaint we had is the back bedroom is extremely drafty and it was very cold in there. It appeared the heater in there did not work. We covered the drafty door with a blanket, which helped. We would definitely stay here again!

Family vacation to DC
We brought our large family to DC for a week of sightseeing. The house was perfect for our family of 7. The neighborhood was nice and metro access was only about a 10 minute walk away. Also, if you are into this type of thing, there is a bar about 2 blocks away called the Gold Clover. Go check it out

Weekend in DC
I loved this place! The set up was perfect for us (3 bedrooms to accommodate 3 couples) You did have to walk through 1 bedroom to get to the other bedroom, but it was fine. Most importantly, it was very clean. And we really liked the neighborhood!

Great place to stay with family
The house is great. it was clean and pretty well stocked. 3 bathrooms worked out really well because there was 6 of us. Just a few things to watch out for: the stairs are wood and small so with the little ones make sure they have on slippers or socks with grippers on the bottom. There was not a cookie sheet, so we improvised. I was pleasantly surprised by the well-stocked selection of paper towels and toilet paper. There was enough laundry detergent to wash every day. I travel a lot with children, so I usually bring my own because some places are selective about the amount of these items they provide. There is a Walmart close by so you can have grocery items delivered easily: They don't provide plastic bags in DC so there will be charge for paper bags. We used Lyft services to travel back and forth to the tourist sites and museums: For a family of 6 it was about 11:00 to 15:00 per ride. The parking was rough as I was driving a very large SUV but I was able to get it into the very narrow entrance by pulling in my side mirrors in: it was a bit difficult to find the entrance to back part of the house because there is not a sign. the gate does not lock per the instructions but parking on the street was not an option because the website was down during my stay. the only negative was that the trash bins were full when we arrived, and I really wasn't sure where to roll the trash to. I did not see any neighbors with their trash cans out so we left the trash cans where they were.

Cozy property with charm
The accommodations were great for a quick trip up to DC. The house is older and cozy. One surprise is that one of the bedrooms is inside another bedroom, so with a group of singles and a couple it made it a bit awkward to organize sleeping arrangements but we were able to work it out. Thank you for contributing to a great weekend.
