Great location, nice and clean and comfortable

We had 4 adult women family members, each with their own space, including one on the fold-out. It worked out great for us. Easy walking to groceries and restaurants and easy to get Uber. Parking was well described and we had no issues getting in and out. Excellent place to stay.

Had a very nice and comfortable stay. Roomy condo, extra clean with great communication from host. It is centrally located to most attractions in and around DC as long as you have a car or make use of bus or metro.Nice backyard porch although the view from it could use some TLC. I would rent this vrbo again.

Beautifully remodeled and comfortable

We enjoyed staying in this completely remodeled townhouse. Everything on the inside has been redone nicely. We were there during unusually hot weather and the air conditioning was awesome! I would've loved to have some recommendations on places to eat nearby or even some local take out menus. The metro and bus system is easy to figure out. There is a bus stop within a 5 minute walk, which was perfect since it was so hot outside.

The place was very large. We only had six, but it could easily fit 8. We parked the car behind the unit and never used it as the bus was a short walk. There is also a Whole Foods a ten minute walk away.

Home while looking for apartments in DC

Very nice location and the parking spot was great, although there was a time or two where somebody had used the spot and we had to wait for the property manager/owner to have them vacate, but no major issue and incredibly responsive manager. Street parking was easy as well. Great location down the street from Whole Foods and convenient to many restaurants within walking distance
