Had a great time in DC. The property was clean and check in was easy. The host answered questions quickly. There are 2 Metro stations within a few minutes walk. Would absolutely stay here again if we return to DC.

Great property, amazing location and extremely responsive host. The property does not have a living room as some reviews state and it’s good to know that going in. Walking distance to tons of key sites, restaurants, and even a great playground and splashpad. Right near the metro if you need to go further. We loved this property and would absolutely stay here again!

This was our 1st visit to Washington and our 1st time using Vrbo. The entire process from choosing the property to co.pleting our stay was seamless.We were a party of 3 adults and 3 children. This property was perfect. The children especially enjoyed having their own space downstairs and the adults appreciated that as well. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was excellent with communication even provided some complimentary snacks and coffee.The location was excellent! Just a few blocks from the metro and lots of nearby dining options. We would definitely recommend this location!

We had a great experience staying at the home. A few things needed to be fixed, but not that important to us. We were disappointed that there was not a general area to all relax the day a storm came thru and we spent the day inside. Location was close to the metro and grocery.

Slight delay in communication after I emailed host. Also the front door access was not accurately stated and we had trouble getting in. Lots of WiFi interruptions on the tv and there isn’t a great communal space for TV/movie watching but overall a nice place.
