Christmas in DC

We visited with our kids (6,7) and my in-laws over Christmas. The six of us fit well and there was plenty of sleeping space. Only downside is a tight kitchen but we made it work. The house was well stocked which was fabulous and the grocery store was only .5 miles away. We walked to all the museums (about 1.2-1.5 miles) and found easy street park on in g by the national Mall. Neighborhood was super safe with a park across the street that was perfect for kids 4 and younger.

Great Location!

What a cute place in a cute neighborhood! The beds were comfortable and it was so convenient to have everything we needed there. Within walking distance to cute neighborhood restaurants and a market. The photos don’t do it justice. We were able to walk down to the mall and union station easily. Thank you for hosting us.

Perfect location, responsive host

Our family if five had a great stay. The space was perfect, with plenty of sleeping options for our older kids. Location was beautiful and was within walking distance of the capitol and other DC hotspots. The water heater went out and the host was super quick and responsive to the issue. He even treated us to dinner at his restaurant during the repairs. We would definitely recommend and/or stay again.

Cute Home with Kind Hosts

This was a perfect stay for us! The home is in a cute little neighborhood, walking distance from restaurants and coffee shops. The check in and check out process was extremely simple and straight forward. Unlike other experiences I’ve had, these hosts don’t ask for much from their guests. They are extremely kind and easy going. We plan on coming back to D.C. in the future and if this property is still listed we will absolutely be staying here!

Great stay!

The unit was spacious, clean, and in a perfect location. So many little conveniences were thought of, too! Communication was quick and easy. We visited during spring break and the park across the street was full of cherry blossoms. Loved walking to the Mall, and loved the off-street parking for those times we ventured farther away and needed to use our car. It was 5 of us, two adults and kids aged 8, 10, and 17. My son ended up using the provided air mattress instead of the fold out sofa bed so that he could sleep in the bedroom, but he found that comfortable as well. The only tiny thing to note was that the water heater seemed pretty small. We spaced out our showers to avoid cold water. Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful stay. I'd recommend this rental to anyone, and would love to come back to it on our next DC visit!

Stayed for the week while daughter was at camp.

Great location. Having a parking space was a huge benefit. Walking distance to the Capital, etc… Apartment was clean. King bed was great. Host lives upstairs in building and was able to fix an issue with the code key (batteries) right away. Beautiful neighborhood. Driving in DC is very confusing so walk, bike, scooter, bus or Uber when you can.
