Nice but small, very small

This is a small, very small house located in the beautiful neighborghood of Georgetown. The house has all the amenities except a dishwasher. It is so small that it is really convenient for one person, although it has two bedrooms. The bathroom is very small. Communication with the landlord was excellent. So, a dollhouse, but fine for a short time.

Truly a Gem

I highly recommend this rental, lovely place, central yet quiet. I would only add that the stairs are steep so be careful with small children or for yourself! There are excellent handrails, the steepness is normal in Georgetown. Super location, very clean

Charming and tasteful cozy home in Georgetown

We were fortunate enough to book this place last minute after another rental had plumbing issues! Charlotte was amazing and helped facilitate check in the next day (even having the cleaner come with little notice for a new renter). The location could not be beat - easy walking distance to the water, main shopping area of Georgetown, and yet quiet and tucked away at the end of a residential street. It was small but cozy - perfect for our family!

Great location, lovely little house

Location could not be better. Property is small scale, as advertised, but was just fine for me and my two children and we were out all day. Very clean, with all the basics you could need and close to Georgetown’s main strip, lovely parks.

Super location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was immaculate and well-supplied. The only two notes i would make are that it is quite small. And we had a little trouble getting the right temperature with the thermostats. But I would highly recommend the Georgetown Gem.

Upon Arrival

We never received the information package for our stay. I had e-mailed the contact person a week before and did not receive the information. Upon arrival we called and receved the information to enter the home. The information package contained information on parking and internet access. After several frustrating calls and e-mails we received the information the next day. There was laundry in the washer dryer. The home and neighborhood were lovely. I would suggest a warmer welcome. There were very limited items to make for a comfortable weekend....no napkins...one dish towel....very few paper towels, no welcome information except what to do with the trash. The apartment heating system was extremely loud....like a jet plane. I'm sure it would be lovely in the spring and fall when no heat is necessary.The apartment was lovely but very small. The queen size bed in the master bedroom could only accomodate one person because the bed was against the wall. The room with the twin beds was much more comfortable. We love Washington DC but will not use this property manager again.
