Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Columbia Heights
We bought this property, one block to Metro, restaurants, grocery stores and cafes because we love the convenience of this unit and the neighborhood. You will find this unit very convenient for your stay and will enjoy its location, close to everything.
Voted the best Pizza place in DC by Washingtonian magazine. We recommend this place for dinner!
Owner's Map of Columbia Heights
We are family owned and operated. From the left meet Kate, Jarek (sister and brother) and our mom Dana.
We have lived in Washington for over ten years and love this cosmopolitan city where people get up every morning and get to work on changing the world. The most powerful people in DC can alter the course of history and try to make the world a better place. It's a city where philosophical debate and advocacy of issues beyond one's own family or pocketbook rule the day; a city where what's going on in one's head is far more important than what one is wearing; a city where people come from all over the world to experience democracy and learn the principles of our free society.
We get visitors from all over the country and the world. Some come for one time visit with their family, others keep coming back number of times a year as we host many repeat guests related to the federal government, foreign embassies and the US State Department. We take great pride in having our unit very clean (our mom cleans it, so you know it’s spotless), conveniently located within walking distance to all shopping, restaurants and Metro.
We want you to enjoy your visit whether it is once in a lifetime trip with your family or monthly visit for work. We are looking forward to hosting you in DC and if there is something we can help with, let us know.

Great stay!

Great location and great owners! It was the perfect amount of space for our girls weekend! We loved the short walk to the metro, restaurants nearby, and loved the fact there were a few items left from the last people who stayed/Paula and Jarek (coffee, spices, etc). We needed a parking pass the first morning there and Jerek came so quickly-great service right there! The only thing I'd recommend for future guests is spacing out showers if you have several people staying (the hot water ran out), but that is it...amazing time overall!!!

All in all a wonderful experience! We have rented moany times through this site in many cities both here and abroad, and I must say that this was our best experience. Typically, you can find something to complain about (not enough hot water, kitchen poorly equipped, etc). This unit is better than advertised, very clean, tastefully decorated, well equipped kitchen. The neighborhhod is neat, Metro is around the corner. Great eating spots within a block or two (try Heights @ 14th and Kenyon and Riconcito across from the Giant on Park). The Giant supermarket around the corner is open 24/7. We only needed to reach out to Jarek once (to get our parking situated), and he was very accessible and responsive. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone wanting to spend time in DC

The apartment was far nicer than appeared in photos, very tasteful and incredibly clean. My wife and I spent 5 days over Christmas with our three sons ( ages 22, 21 and 15). Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook in, as well as other conveniences, such as coffee filters, spices, etc. Metro a 5 minute walk away, and some really nice places to eat within two blocks (The Heights @ Kenyon and 14th, and Riconcito on Park across from the Giant supermarket). Jared was great, and always available and helpful if we needed to contact him by phone. We have rented from private owners in London, Paris, Barcelona, and DC, and this was as good an experience as we have had

Jarek & Paula: Just catching our breath after an incredible week in DC and wanted to send you a note of thanks. The townhouse was wonderful! And the neighborhood and Metro were exactly as others had described. We had everything w/in walking distance; Target, Modells, Red Rocks, CVS, The Heights, Sticky Fingers, Potbelly's, Panera & the Metro...were all places we went for everything from a few extra scarves & hats to medicine (a couple of us were battling colds) and food. As you may have seen from the food we left behind, we bought lots of snacks and ended up eating our way around Columbia Heights & DC instead (always happens to us). All six of us are exhausted! We started w/ Red Rocks & DC Lights tour (a little chilly, but saw lots of things in short timeframe & Christmas look of DC) Saturday afternoon & night. From there it was; The Capital, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Union Station, Postal Museum, Smithsonian Museums, DuPont Circle for dinner one night, Capitals hockey game Tuesday night, and then the more somber Arlington Cemetery, Holocaust Memorial, and finished with the National Cathedral & Pentagon Memorial Thursday morning on our way to the airport (we used MATS car service, Yelp highly rated & $ reasonable). And we still had 3-4 things we couldn't fit in. Weather was pretty accommodating, especially Weds & Thur. I hope you can see why we're exhausted. One of the best parts of the trip was sitting around the kitchen table each night discussing the days sites and what we liked best and planning the next days itinerary. And in such a beautiful townhome. It was just like being at home, only better...we were in DC! As I mentioned in my first e-mail inquiry, we've rented from VRBO many times; beach, skiing, mountains, lakes, etc...with great experiences and this was another one. In fact, our sons (ages 25, 23 & 21) said of all the "vacations" we've taken, this "trip" was the best. In part, thanks to you! Thank you for sharing your property, I'll be posting some notes & 5 star rating on VRBO about our trip in a couple of days. Have Merry Christmas & Happy/Safe New Year. We'll be back next time we plan a trip to DC.

Everything they say it is...great for our family...we have 2 boys, 7 and 10...it was quiet, an easy walk to the grocery, shopping, and the metro. Easy to get anywhere in DC with the metro...don't bother renting a car. We felt safe and comfortable. We would stay again and highly recommend.

My family stayed here in August and it was a wonderful stay. Everything was as they stated it would be and easy to use and find. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Easy access to anywhere in town, as stated, and plenty of information regarding the area and activities. They were helpful in getting us parking permits, answering our questions before arriving, and even when we got to town. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a nice, clean, safe area to stay in DC.

My family vacations at least twice a year and we use VRBO for most. I have never had an experience like this. Jarek and Paula (who I never saw) were so organized and efficient in their planning that our arrival and departure were so seamless, it was as if it was our own vacation home. The condo is immaculate, the location is perfect. Vacation a top 10 in our book. Thanks for the memories! Paula I am looking for a nice one bedroom for next year same time, have any ideas?

Stay here! My group of four women just loved it. The decor is crisp, neat and very welcoming. Little things left for us (kitchen-wise) meant alot. No need to go shopping for 1 tsp. of this or that. It's there! We didn't cook, but loved that we had the spices.etc, to add to our breakfasts. The home is welcoming, definately clean. You feel safe in the home. We have rec. to friends already. Go, you won't be disappointed.

Review Submitted: 04/26/11
Seven of my out of town college girl friends and I rented this property mid April 2011. I live locally (No. VA) but due to daily, heavy traffic in and out of DC, we decided to rent a condo within the city for easy access to DC sites. This condo is GREAT. Not only is it less than 2 blocks from the Columbia Heights metro stop (no need for a car), the neighborhood offers shopping, grocery and restaurants all within a couple of blocks. The condo was immaculate, nicely decorated, has a full kitchen, three bedrooms, a pullout couch in the living room, a futon in a loft area upstairs and 3 full bathrooms. Perfect for our needs with plenty of space. In addition, the owners, Jarek and Paula, were wonderful with correspondence and answering all of my questions ahead of time. I highly recommend this rental unit!

My sisters and I took my mom to her first visit to Washington DC. We stayed at this wonderful place in Columbia Heights. The condo was very relaxing and comfortable. It was so nice to come home from a day of sight seeing and just relaxing and recapping the day. It was in a great neighborhood and only a block from the metro which made our travels to the sites very easy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Washington.
