The place was amazing. Better even than we anticipated. The location was amazing, including its proximity to numerous fabulous restaurants. And the Maxwell wine bar underneath was the perfect nightcap to every day that we had there. Additionally, the host was amazing. She checked in on us almost daily and asked if we needed anything. Of course we didn’t because the place was so great, but it was nice that she did that we would definitely go back!

We had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-located. Being above a wine bar, you do hear some typical city sounds, but nothing disruptive. The nearby metro made getting around incredibly easy, and having a grocery store just one block away was a huge plus. We’d definitely stay here again!

Perfect spot for our week in D.C.! The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The open kitchen and living area were great for cooking and relaxing, and Maxwell wine bar downstairs added a fun, European vibe. Location felt safe and was an easy 15–20 minute walk to restaurants, sights, and Le Diplomate. The host was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Overall, the place is cute and just enough room for 4-5 adults to stay comfortably. The kitchen has exactly what you need, toiletries are sparse, and anything else you need, you can grab at plenty of spots nearby.Biggest issue was the wi-fi, which is practically non-existent. It's a problem worth solving to keep guests happy. And the curtains are not completely black-out. It also lists having a washer and dryer, there isn't one in unit.Otherwise, having two bathrooms is great for a spot in the city; it's close to a ton, which does mean more outdoor noise, but it's a city, so expect and plan for that. For the space, location, and responsiveness of the host, it was a good stay.

Would not stay again, but property manager responded well

The property itself is 3-stars but the management group earned one star back with their handling of the bad situation. We booked this property for 4 people for 6 nights. I wasn't too pleased when we got there and noticed only four towels, meaning I would be definitely be doing laundry during my vacation. The kitchen amenities were pretty sparse.The television service is only streaming services, which is typical. However, the internet provided is just an extension of the upstairs apartment and was very weak and did not work well at all. I don't want to constantly be resetting an extender and managing internet issues on vacation.The final straw was a pest control issue that caused us to request new accomodations. The company offered another property, but it was not comparable so we declined. They did refund us for the remaining nights of our stay so we could relocate, which is how they earned their 4-star review.

Beautiful charming place.

Everything was neat organized clean and perfect. Great location, close to convention center and restaurants. Great communication with hosts. I had issues with my email and they made sure to resent things for me. Parking across the street worked well as we walked everywhere. Wine bar downstairs stays open late and you can hear conversations but it didn’t keep us up. Would recommend this property and would definitely stay again.

Loved the Vibe

Staying in a neighborhood apartment instead of a hotel was way better than I had imagined. Hotels in DC are pricey and this allowed both my co-worker and I to attend an event. We both enjoyed the relaxing vibe and the location and can't wait till next year.

Above Maxwell Wine Bar Apartment Review

Five night stay with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons while I was in town on business. Pros: The apartment was cute and clean. I appreciated the unique artwork and the selection of books on the shelves. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the coffee set up by the host. Everything we could want or need was in walking distance. Cons: The noise level on Saturday night was brutal. The traffic including loud cars thumping music and partying downstairs and nearby went on until about 4 am. Played parking roulette each day - no fun. The only tv, a small tv in the living room had a poor wi-fi connection. and was largely unusable. The sofain the living room needs replacing. It was incredibly uncomfortable with a broken leg and the cushions are beat. The dishwasher works, but be careful of the top rack.Overall: I would recommend staying here.

Great Location, well appointed

Apartment excess was flawless, many are not. We took their advice and secured parking across the street. The apartment was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, maybe because they own the restaurant below. Everything was in walking distance, stores, shops, sites.We were not hear long enough, due to the record snow storm, but definately will be back.

Great Condo in a Charming Neighborhood

This condo is in a wonderful location and is within very short walking distance to a grocery store and several yummy restaurants. It needs more bedding for the pull-out couch and more than 1 large towel per guest, as the washing machine is small, but works fine. Parking can be difficult. It would be REALLY nice if the resident parking pass was available for use during the condo stay, but maybe that isn't an option. Your best option is to park on the block with the Hyatt Hotel. If you park on the side of the street opposite the Hyatt Hotel, it is free, and there are no limits, except for a couple of street sweeping hours on one day per week (I think it's from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays.). There is an alley nearby that doesnt have overnight parking limits on the weekends. Also, overnight parking is available at the Sunoco Convenience Store for 20 per night. We loved this condo and would stay here again!
