Perfection in every way

We stayed at this location for several days over Thanksgiving. Communication was fast, the location is perfect (2 blocks from the metro, and a Target, as well as several restaurants). Our group included 6 people, myself, my husband, our 2 teen/adult children, and my parents. There was enough room for us to have our own space. Would stay here again!

Spacious and Clean

Colin was quick to communicate and even allowed us to check in when the cleaners were done. The place is spacious and roomy for a large family. Street parking was easy with the parking passes. The location is close to the Columbia Heights metro stop so you can quickly get to the Smithsonian and DC attractions. we had a great visit!

Great location!

This property was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Just 2 blocks from the Green line, we didn’t need a car, and the walking was safe. Colin was great to work with and made the process extremely easy. The basement apartment included was a huge plus, as it gave the newlyweds their own space. Please consider this property for your next stay.

Beautiful home in great DC neighborhood

We had a fabulous stay at Colin's place. It has everything you need and more! My family of food and coffee lovers were very pleased with the setup in the kitchen. I've stayed in many, many vacation rentals and this is the first one with a KitchenAid mixer and Cuisinart food processor. Also, the art and antiques in the townhome are lovely. The neighborhood has several good restaurants within walking distance. We had a car, but never had a problem finding parking on the same block as the house. This is a great place to stay and we'd definitely stay here again.

We were a group of friends from all over the country returning to Washington for a college reunion. The house was very well appointed with plenty of room. The location was ideal with easy access to the metro. Colin, the owner , was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. You will not be disappointed !

Washington DC sightseeing trip.

We were five women celebrating a mile stone birthday who came to explore Washington DC. The home was very close to the metro station that took us everywhere we wanted to go. It was also located in a family neighborhood that was within walking distance of many wonderful restaurants. The home was clean and well appointed, and the host was very responsive to all our needs.

Gorgeous clean, light, and spacious home hosted by a very generous and highly responsive host

This place is sparkling clean, every last inch. Items are either brand new or in excellent shape. Entire place is very well lit. Water pressure is excellent with plenty of hot water. Air conditioning is robust. Décor is very cheery. Super friendly-feel to this place; a very welcoming home. Kitchen details: KitchenAid mixer, food processor, heavy-bottomed pans, many sharp knives, and gadgets galore. I cooked dinner from scratch every night for my family of four. Serving ware is ample. More specifics: Beds were very comfortable, from the mattress to the blankets to the pillows. Upholstered furniture were all very comfortable and clean. This is the first place I’ve ever stayed that had ample dish and laundry detergent, toilet paper, shampoo, bath/sink soap, and towels; very generous. Street is bustling with cars and walkers all day long. The neighborhood feels very friendly and safe. Lots of folks walking dogs, pushing strollers, jogging, walking with kids, and both kids and adults biking or scootering by. Across the street is a school where folks played soccer every night (no loud music; just happy kid noises). We really enjoyed hanging out on the front porch couch. Colin is the host that you always hoped for. He responds very quickly when contacted for anything. Always super helpful and went above and beyond on everything. You can tell he loves this property and really wants his guests to enjoy their stay. It shows. Such a wonderful and generous host.

Great place for family to stay

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic VRBO listing, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations and made my vacation truly unforgettable. First and foremost, the location of this property is wonderful and is just a few minutes from the green line metro. This made travel around the DC metro a breeze. You were also a few minutes walk from several stores including Target, CVS and as well as a few restraurants. Moreover, the host's hospitality was exceptional. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond. My only critisim would be if you have small children, there are a lot of rules around the property that would be difficult with small children. Additionally, the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom have no rail and we were all a little leary of them. In short this place and the host are amazing. If we every travel back to DC we would like stay here again.

Amazing house in DC

Hands down the best place I've stayed through VRBO! The location was exactly what we needed for easy access to DC and very close to Catholic, Howard, and American Universities. Great neighborhood and a quiet Brownstone house. The rooms were great and the basement apartment was an added bonus that suited our family perfectly! Colin was easy to reach and the process of renting with him through VRBO was seamless. The kitchen was easy to cook in for our whole family. 2 parking passes for vehicles, although you are dealing with DC parking, so be patient. We were always very close to the house. I wouldn't change a thing and look forward to coming back!

Washington DC Trip - Spring Break

Great home! We had 11 of us and we all had plenty of room. I usually rate a hotel or VRBO off cleanliness, safe location and the shower (water pressure, no soft water and shower wand) *Cleanliness - Sheets, bedding, towels etc were all nice and clean. Throw pillows could use a little help but other than that it was comfy cozy. *Location - Since I’ve never visited DC before it was hard to judge but it is a big, busy city and I didn’t feel like it wasn’t safe. Didn’t miss a wink of sleep. *Shower - Excellent! No soft water ( I hate soft water) I know, I know… it’s better for your skin but it always feels like I can’t get the shampoo out of my hair and soap off my body. Great shower pressure and it had a wand. Yeah! Over all… we really weren’t there much other than breakfast and to shower and sleep. It was comfy and recommend.

Lovely, clean, plenty of towel/supplies

We stayed for an entire week, adults, teens, and small kids. The house was clean, there were plenty of towels and linens, supplies like hair dryers, spices, soaps, and shampoos were really nice. We were very pleasantly surprised to find big, cocktail ice cubes in the freezer too. Communication was great. Parking was not that bad. Only one night did we have to drive around looking for a space because we stayed out later going to a few places outside the city. The pictures of the back bedrooms are not accurate, although the listing IS. There is a full bed where you see two twins in the picture. In the following picture, there is not two beds in that room, it is just the twin trundle bed. Not a big deal because the listing is accurate, but if you aren’t reading the listing, and just going by the pics, you might be mistaken. All the other pictures are completely accurate. Washer and dryers are clean and work great. The hot water might not last as long as you’re used to, but as long as 3-4 people aren’t showering back to back, it’s fine. There were a lot of us, so that’s what we attempted the first night, after that, we spaced it out a bit with no problem. The neighbors are very helpful and nice if you run into them, but they aren’t intrusive. Very short walk to the metro. Wonderful coffee shop, Tynan cafe, very short walk away, right next to metro -went there every morning. The biggest thing for us was the mattresses are actually comfortable! They are not cheap throw aways!
