Perfect location for doing all the touristy DC things! The house was clean and large enough for the 5 of us. Only thing missing was washcloths - plenty of bath towels and hand towels but no washcloths. We would definitely stay here again if ever in the DC area.

Do not stay here. Bathrooms are dirty and have mold. Host is not responsive. I smelled a gas leak during my stay with my family. I contacted the host and she called me about 2 hours later. She told me that she needed to call and send the gas company over; she did not ask if I wanted to leave and expected me to meet with the gas inspector in the middle of the night. The gas company came past midnight and I was up walking around with the inspector and then airing out the house once the gas was turned off. I barely slept that night and had a lot of anxiety about the whole situation. I contacted the host twice asking for a refund and she ghosted me. She did not apologize for the inconvenience or thank me for taking care of her home. I expect a VRBO host to have more compassion and integrity. 0 stars.

We enjoyed our brief stay. The place is clean and comfortable, and close to the bus stops that take you to metro stations if you want to go to DC.The neighborhood is very quiet, so the house is very relaxing when you want to shut the outside noises out.

Rural family from Michigan visits DC
Check in was very simple. The neighborhood was safe, quiet, and clean- many families and women out walking day and evening. The house had everything we needed to cook our breakfasts, pack lunches and make dinners. Plus, the appliances were straightforward- easy to operate. The house was clean, smells nice, is in good shape, the AC was on and kept the home comfortable for our return from sight seeing. The backyard was lovely! We grilled and ate out on the patio one night, had a fire and smores another night.There is a large, clean, safe grocery store less than 1/2 mile away. We were able to buy SmarTrip cards there to use the bus and subway. The bus stop was less than a 5 minute walk away. It was easy to navigate the transportation system. If we ever came back to this area again, I'd book this place again!
