Felt like living in someone's charming home

This quirky old purple house is clearly much loved with its murals and creaky floors. The neighborhood is so lovely, anyone would feel comfortable there. A work in progress with plenty of room for our group of three adults, though one bedroom is definitely for a smaller person.

Great Home Away From Home

We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it for a family or small party. The house is centrally located and within walking distance of food stores, shops, gyms, and local restaurants. Our host was amazing - checking in at the start of our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The home was also clean and cozy, with enough room for everyone. We had a great expderience and look forward to returning again soon!

Fun, Comfortable Stay

This charming row house is a 10-15 minute drive from just about anything you want to do in DC. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood was full of kids playing and dogs on walks. We loved the Old City Market & Oven for breakfast, groceries and a couple of great pizza dinners.

Convenient and comfortable home

The home was spacious for the three of us and had what we needed for the week. The home is a quarter of a mile from a subway stop and less than a mile from Union Station. Trader Joe’s is a quarter of a mile away. There’s a gate at the bottom of the stairway which kept our dog downstairs with us during the day. A great place to stay for a visit to DC!

Great Stay

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Purple House! The house was very comfortable and accommodated our needs for the week we rented it, it was a bonus that it was pet friendly without an exorbitant pet fee. The house is large and it got a bit chilly. There are heaters, however, the heater on the lower level is quite small and had a difficult time warming the large room. But that was not a show-stopper, we hope to book the same property when we return in DC in 2025!

Quaint Location

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this property, and I highly recommend it to others. The location was as described and very convenient, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and more. I have a couple of suggestions for enhancing the experience for future guests. While the property accommodates five people, we noticed there were only a few towels and just two mugs. Having enough essentials for the total number of guests would be great. Additionally, a hair dryer and a washer and dryer would be helpful amenities to include. As the house is older, the stairs are pretty steep, which made carrying luggage upstairs a bit challenging. However, the railing was very helpful. Overall, these are minor suggestions that did not detract from our enjoyable stay. Thank you for providing such a lovely place!

Inviting and delightful accommodation

I stayed at this apartment for five days, and the accommodation itself was delightful. It had an inviting decor and an extremely comfortable bed. The residential neighbourhood provided a serene environment, perfect for morning jogs or walks. Yet, the check-in process could be improved. I did not receive the check-in information when I landed in DC around 4 pm, although check-in was at 3 pm. I had to call customer service on the day of arrival to receive this information. The information provided only covered access to the back door, and I had to email the host to request the code for the front door. This could be improved by providing comprehensive check-in details in a single email, preferably a day before arrival or a few hours prior to check-in. I had to use my Skype credit (my line was off) to call customer service and get the info and this is not convenient for international guests without local phone numbers. Another issue is the lack of iron. I was attending conferences and needed to iron my shirts. Ultimately, I had to go to the hotel where my colleague was staying to borrow their iron. I shared my feedback with the host, and it was well received. A last negative point was that I emailed the host a day before my departure to request a late check-out (12 p.m. instead of 11 a.m.) but did not get a response. I would have appreciated an acknowledgement of the request and a refusal if this was not possible instead of a non-response. However, this does not change the fa

Great home base for DC

We loved our stay. The NE area was beautiful. Lots of family and lots of dogs walking the streets. We had a good supply of nearby restaurants and union market had amazing breakfast options. We didn’t go for any other meal but I’m sure it’s good for that too. The rooms were tidy and well equipped. The house had everything we needed for a short trip away. I would certainly come back to this property again. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
