The host went out of her way to provide a perfect, comfortable and festive location for us to prepare and share our family Thanksgiving dinner. Beautifully furnished apartment in a great historic area. Each of the two bedrooms had a comfortable Queen bed and private bathroom. A nice place to come home to after touring. Excellent restaurants, wine shop, markets. Easy subway access and a great place to walk. We were very happy and at home here. Highly recommend.

Terrible

The location was adequate, but the property needed some updates. The backyard had some critters that came out a night. The property owner said there would be no problem refunding me for the one night that I wasn't going to be there. Her reply was no problem, but she said she received an error when she tried the refund and would try again later. She also said that we hope that we don't need to contact Vrbo. I should have contacted them; I might have stood a better chance of getting my refund. I would not recommend this based on my experience do to the lack of concern about my refund.

Excellent apartment in Mt. Pleasant

This apartment is in an ideal location, on a quiet, tree-lined street, in an ideal neighborhood, just steps away from many restaurants, grocery stores, buses, and a short walk to the metro. It is quiet and very comfortable. The host is extremely responsive and quickly resolved an issue that came up. This was our second stay here and we highly recommend it to visitors to DC!

Awesome experience

I have traveled extensively and stayed in many properties. This was by far our best experience. The accommodations were very comfortable, very clean, and welcoming. The location is a 5 min walk to restaurants, cafes, and a wonderful farmers market on Saturday’s. The owner, Kelly greeted us to see if we needed any assistance during our stay, set up a parking pass which was wonderful, and was a wealth of local knowledge. We will definitely book again for future visits to DC!

Great location for a family visit to DC area

We really enjoyed our visit to DC – about a 10 minute walk to nearby Metro Station. Quite a few restaurants nearby. Was able to park on street nearby. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Beautiful spot. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Lots of other families nearby.

Good Location & Accommodating Host

Overall, I would recommend this property. Pros: Convenient location from which to hop on the Metro, so no need to drive into downtown DC; well-furnished, stylish apartment; comfortable beds; well-stocked kitchen necessities; two bathrooms Cons: Parking is a problem if you're driving in. Luckily, the host was kind enough to let us park in her garage because she happened to be away during the time we were there. It was mostly clean, but there were areas that needed a bit more elbow-grease. There were also open containers/food left in the fridge from previous guests.

Desert), grocery stores, a Saturday farmer's market and an easy, 10 minute walk to the Metro's red line for easy access to all of DC.

Best Place!

We traveled for our first family trip to Washington DC. We so enjoyed ourselves! The location is fantastic: out of the city, but close enough to visit the museums and monuments for the day. We had no trouble getting to the metro and catching buses. And in the evening, we could walk a block and have a cocktail on the patio of numerous restaurants before shopping for our evening meal at the local market. Kelly was kind and helpful. She suggested activities and they were perfect! We loved our daily doggie visitors and sitting out back with coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. We hated to leave when our time was over.

Ideal D.C. apartment

Very nice apartment, clean, generously stocked with standard foods and amenities. Quiet and pretty neighborhood, exceedingly convenient to restaurants and local stores, 10 minute walk from either subway or zoo. You can hear the lions roar in the morning! Friendly, responsive hosts live upstairs; only met husband in passing. English basement with nice windows in bedrooms, and a wonderful little outdoor space perfect for morning coffee. Good internet and television. One bedroom is larger and has better ensuite than the other. Noise insulation is poor but hosts are VERY quiet. Overall, an excellent apartment in a wonderful neighborhood buzzing with a vibrant mix young people, immigrants, and families. It's fun to be there.

Convenient lodging at quaint neighborhood in DC

We had a wonderful 1-week stay at this place while visiting DC. Although this was a basement unit, it had its own entry way with separate kitchen and living spaces. The owner was very responsive to questions/requests; she lives with her family upstairs from the unit. Nearby very interesting local restaurants with international flavors. Convenient, easy walk to metro & bus stops. We also rented a car for 2 days to reach places that the metro doesn't go to. Overnight parking was not easy to find in the neighborhood but not impossible. Overall, we would highly recommend this rental for traveling families.
