Perfect home away from home

This was the perfect home base for our multi-generational family vacation. There was plenty of space for four adults and three children. It was wonderful to come back to such a lovely apartment after busy days of sight seeing. The apartment is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The owner was very helpful before our arrival and available by phone/email during our stay to answer questions. The location is convenient to everything. We were nervous about the parking space (after reading reviews about its small size) but our minivan was able to fit and it was great to have off-street parking included. We loved this apartment and hope to stay again!

Urban Living is Great

We had a great stay as a family of two adults and three teenagers. This rowhouse offers exactly what we wanted -- to experience an urban neighborhood, have space to spread out (compared to a cramped hotel room) and close proximity to metro. Grocery store is a couple of blocks away as are several places to eat or have coffee. Kramersbooks and Afterwards is a must stop for coffee and cheese cake. Rowhouse was well appointed and clean. Parking spot was appreciated and convenient, though small. Our rented SUV was not a good choice given parking - urban lesson learned.

Perfect Location - Beautiful Townhome

Dupont Circle is one of the nicest neighborhoods in the DC area and we were very happy with our choice. It was very close to the metro as well as the many shops and restaurants in Dupont Circle. The townhouse was beautiful! We didn't want to leave. It was clean and had everything we needed including a washer/dryer (which came in very handy). The downstairs bedroom is perfect for older kids to have "their own space". The beds were very very comfortable and the owners were a joy to deal with. They were very accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the DC area.

Wonderful Row House in Heart of DC

The house was fantastic - hidden in one of the most charming pockets of DC the street was set in a typical row house tree-lined street in a very safe neighbourhood. Once you step inside, the house was modern, with all the necessary conveniences for our stay (dishwasher, washing-machine, dryer, fully-stocked kitchen, wonderful TV) and was immaculately clean and really well-taken care of. The house has a parking space which is great since it wasn't always easy to find on-street parking, but the space is very tight especially if you're driving a medium-large SUV. It is a 5-minute walk to Dupont Circle (Metro and bus services) and great restaurants and a 15-minute walk from Georgetown, which also has superb shopping and dining. We really enjoyed our stay as the house was comfortable, clean and convenient and the owner really accommodating. We would definitely recommend it to other families or small groups of friends

Great location, perfect for DC sightseeing

Our family stayed overnight here while visiting some of the Smithsonian destinations, and found this was a very convenient and safe location to make our base! Plenty of good restaurants in easy walking distance, and it's also easy to get to the Metro. Word of warning to Suburban drivers, it's a tight alley for parking - but once we shoe-horned it into the spot, we didn't have to move it again until it was time to leave. A comfortable and charming alternative to staying in a hotel!

Perfect for Girls Weekend!

I rented this townhouse for my sister's bachelorette party (a fun group of girls ages 24-27), and it was wonderful! It was the perfect location. It was a max of a 5 minute walk to Dupont Circle; no need to cab! The house was clean, modern, and had a variety of amenities such as games, DVDs, and cooking supplies. One parking spot is available, but we had no problem parking 5 other cars on the street the house is on, even though it was a weekend and a gay-pride festival (unheard of in D.C.)! You don't need a permit to park on the street during the weekend, and it's a very quiet and safe area. The house had enough living space where we were able to have 12 girls over during the day and comfortably have a good time. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had, and I would recommend this place to anyone. All the girls had a blast, and it exceeded expectations! P.S. Try dinner at the Darlington House in Dupont-walking distance and amazing food. Public Bar also has a rooftop deck, and was a great place for twenty-something girls to go dancing!

Perfect D.C. Pied a Terre

Our family stayed at this townhouse for 4 days while attending festivities for our daughter's Georgetown graduation. Perfect location to get to Georgetown via "P" street and avoid crazy "M" Street traffic, also very conveniently located a couple of blocks from Dupont Circle with restaurants & shops, and equally close to "M" street major hotels. Good starting point for downtown and main sights. Lots of taxis at all hours and close to Metro. Owner was extremely welcoming and helpful before, during, and after our stay. House was clean and well equipped -- we even managed to do some easy entertaining which really made our visit special. Thank you.

Excellent for Family D.c. Tour

Row house was comfortably big enough for our family of five. Stocked with everything we needed. Two wall TVs, washer/dryer. Restaurants & Trader Joe's in walking distance. Quite convenient to Capitol, White House, Mall & museums. Neighborhood charming (Dupont Circle) & a short walk to the teeming Georgetown District. Only problem: I left my iPhone there and have been unable to contact owner since, whether by e-mail or phone., which I find disturbing.

Owner response:Thank you for the positive review! The only thing is that I think your last comment is a bit misleading. I've actually been very responsive to your iPhone issue and found it odd that you hadn't responded to my outreach. When you notified me that you had left your phone behind I immediately went to the house and picked it up as I had guests arriving later that day. I then called you on the phone number that you gave me and left a voice mail asking for an address to send the iPhone to. I never heard back. I then emailed you at the address we had corresponded on previously (I believe it is your wife's email) asking again for instructions on where to send the phone. I finally heard back from her yesterday and am shipping the iPhone out today. I'd say that's quite responsive and not at all "disturbing".

I stayed in this perfect house just a few days ago, with my family (6), the house was better than I expected, it was big enough for all so we were confortable, the kitchen was also really good that we were able to prepare at New Year dinner. I love how the house was perfectly organize to make those days in Washington a perfect stay just as home. The house has a really good location so we were able to go anywhere we wanted in just a few minutes. I recomend this house. Thank you Matt for all your help! :)

The apartment is located in a very nice street, 5 min from the subway station in a very quiet area. If you prefer walking, in 15 min you can be in Georgetown, and in 40 min (through Foggy Bottom) you can be at Lincoln Memorial. Apartment well maintained, fully equipped (there is no chance you can miss something). Matt (the owner) is very nice and very prompt to answer to all the questions you may have. The parking in the backyuard is really a plus!
