  The unit was well located and safe by D.C. standards. This unit is still MANY blocks to the Metro and a significant walk to the US Capitol area. The unit above was occupied the entire time. Not a problem for most of week until the the vacuuming at 10:00 p.m.began. The decor is "ode to Ikea" and in average condition but acceptable for a rental. There was NO water pressure in shower. It was very handy to have a washer and dryer available in the unit. Amazing restaurants in the Eastern Market area. Try the "Sweet Lobby" for macarons and Ted's Bulletin for homemade Pop Tarts.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing.

  Owner has upstairs and downstairs apt, we stayed in downstairs apt 10 nights in late April. Furnishings are basic but functional and clean. Mattress and shower were good. Area is lovely especially in Spring. It is a walk to Metro and Capitol Building. Walk to Eastern Market Metro took us about 15 minutes, 20-25 min to Capital. Have to remember once you get to Capitol Building, it's still a walk to wherever you want to go on National Mall. Worked well for us to take Metro home in evening and eat around Eastern Market area, then walk home after sitting a while for dinner. Lots of restaurants and people around Eastern Market. Kate was very prompt at answering all e-mails and questions however we did have a problem with wifi during our stay. This was reported on a Wed night and was still not fixed when we left Monday morning. This really was a problem since we couldn't use Ipad for travel info, couldn't facetime with family or check e-mails very easily. Two cons to consider- the on/off control for A/C and heat are in upstairs apartment. You are dependent on whatever they set it on upstairs. At times we seemed to be able to control the temp in our apt and sometimes not but it was never uncomfortable. The router for both apts is also in the upstairs apt. Owners did try to have upstairs renters reset the router but this did not fix the wifi and nothing further was done.

  Pro: unit was as described in a lovely residential neighborhood, about a 20 minute walk to 2 metros. Nice tile shower. Con: You can hear every footstep from the upstairs unit. While we were there, a herd of elephants was upstairs... We arrived after dark, and the outside light was not working. So, it was very difficult to find the lock box, put in code, and use keys in door locks. We immediately reported problem to Jarek, but light was not repaired during our 4 day stay. Also, no DVD in unit. Minor issues: bathroom needs towel bars and would be nice to have a mirror in bedroom.

  Fantastic location, comfortable space. Pretty noisy when rental upstairs was occupied, but mostly pretty quiet. Best feature being walking distance to so much.

  I loved my stay here. We had one issue with the internet not working so I had to drive over to the Starbucks to send out an important email, but it was fixed later that day. The router just needed to be reset. Jarek was out of town, but I was put in touch with a secondary person, Carlos. He was fantastic. The unit was in a perfect location. We walked all the way to the Lincoln Memorial, but got a cab back :). I highly recommend this place and would stay here again if I return to D.C. Thanks for the great rental!

  Our family of four, including 2 boys (12, 14), thoroughly enjoyed 10 nights here. The accommodations were very clean, well-stocked and comfortable. Our boys had no trouble sleeping on the futon. The kitchen, washer/dryer and wifi were particularly helpful to us. Also, because we took some day trips outside of the District, we had a car for the entire trip. Using the off-street parking associated with this unit was arguably the best decision we made when planning our trip! The owners were very responsive to our questions both before and during our stay. As far as nearby attractions, we had a lot of fun at the Eastern Market flea market on a Sunday, including a delicious lunch at the Market. We also frequented Starbucks right across the street from the Eastern Market metro station and Hello Cupcake on 8th street. Two notes: This is an excellent location, without question, but we usually ended up taking a cab back at the end of the day. After walking all day, we just couldn't fathom walking home from the metro stations. Also, being from a quiet, forest living in Colorado, the city noises were something we were not exactly prepared for. Ear plugs helped quite a bit. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it quite highly.

  The location was great - nine block walk to the Capitol building, six block walk to metro, Eastern Market, and restaurants, and the neighborhood was homey. It was wonderful to see folks out walking their dogs, strolling with the baby, or going for a jog. Very safe. Bed was comfortable, shower had plenty of hot water, everything was clean, all amenities available (including wi-fi and cable). Stopped at Port City Java several mornings on the way to the Metro - great service and delish coffee. Box Car Tavern had a killer quesadilla with duck confit (no joke). I'm craving it now. Both are on 7th Street right across from Eastern Market. Last but not least, Kate was really helpful prior to arrival, prompt answering questions via email.

  My family of 3 visited Washington D.C. for a mini vacation for our Spring Break. The location is convenient to most everything with an approximate 10 minute walk to the Metro at the Eastern Market. We arrived late Sunday evening and reserved a parking spot in back (recommended due to lack of available parking on street). Finding the parking space in back was a little challenging since there is no address numbers on the unit. Getting into the apartment was another challenge since the keys are not labeled and there are 2 different apartment doors in foyer after entering the main door of building. These are really minor issues, easily resolved. Other than that, the apartment was very nice and comfortable and provided everything we needed. My son slept on the futon which was very roomy and comfortable. We spent 3 nights here and would definitely come back!

  The one bedroom lower unit was great. It was clean, and roomy for my Dad and I to stay and even the fold down couch was comfortable. As for the location it couldn't of been better. Eastern Market was five blocks, and the Capital Building was just under a mile, all within walking distance. Got in the first night and walked the 15 minutes to Union Station at 10:30pm. The place is great and would stay again!
