  "We had a great week in Kelly's apartment. Convenient location in the Eastern Market neighborhood. Close to Metro and lots of dining choices within walking distance. The unit's helpful hints binder provided all the info you will need to enjoy this location. The hosts were friendly and helpful."

  "I had the best time at Kelly and Jack's place, which is clean and comfortable and located in a great part of town. They were both so welcoming and friendly. The apartment had everything I was looking for, and Eastern Market is a fabulous neighborhood. There are lots of restaurants and a flea market (and food market) on the weekends. I definitely recommend it, and I would stay there again. It's also very nice that the apartment is dog-friendly, and there is a dog park right down the street. My pooch got a ton of exercise while I stayed there."

  "Our family loved the Eastern Market apartment. The apartment itself was lovely and cozy, and the proximity to the Metro was stellar. Having the Eastern Market, 8th Street restaurants and stores, two playgrounds and all the other places within walking distance was wonderful. Our children absolutely enjoyed the freedom of not being strapped in to a carseat, and we almost forgot to see all the wonderful sights of Washington."

  "This was our first experience with airbnb and we had a fantastic experience. Kelly held my hand and patiently answered all of my questions. We were traveling with 2 small children and it was both the perfect place to do so - down to the set of plastic bowls and cups specifically for them. They truly are located right across from the Metro and after a long day of sightseeing, we were able to come right back with very little walking. The extras that they provide like the metro cards and the list of restaurants really do go above and beyond. Staying here you really do get a feel for living in a DC neighborhood rather than just staying in a hotel."

  "This apartment exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect! Within a 2 minute walk we had our metro stop, CVS & a market. We were pleased that we were able to cook in the apartment as well as do laundry to avoid checked bag fees with the airline. There are restaurants right around the corner and it was a great neighborhood. Kelly was very responsive to our needs and had thought of every detail. We hope to have a return visit!"

My husband and I were very comfortable in the bedroom and the kids had a nice sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a great stay and hope to return some day. I highly recommend this apartment."

  "We had a great time here on spring break with 3 kids. Kelly is a great host who made sure we were comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The apartment is very clean and had everything we needed. Kelly provided metro cards and a parking permit which proved to be extremely helpful. It is a perfect location. We felt safe and got a taste for what it would be like to actually live in DC, which is exactly what we wanted. The fireplace was a nice touch after a long day sightseeing. Honestly, we had zero complaints and would highly recommend this place to others."

  "Kelly and Jack are wonderful hosts, and attend to all of your needs!!! The apartment is very comfortable and cozy. The location is perfect; Eastern Market is so close and it's such fun to go every morning to buy fresh eggs, butter, cheeses, meat, produce, etc. You have everything you need in the area--great restaurants, supermarket, cleaners, pharmacy, etc. Having the metro across the street from the apartment is ideal!! If you have a car, you can almost always find parking in front of the apartment, and Kelly and Jack provide you with a parking pass, a metro/bus/bicycle pass, and so many other things that make your time there so easy and convenient. I hope we can stay in this wonderful apartment again soon!!!!"

  "In February, 2013 we visited DC for 10 days. We have stayed in Airbnb apartments all over the world and found this apartment to be one of the best. The excellent location cannot be overstated. The metro station is essentially across the street. It is inexpensive and easily the best way to get around the city. The apartment comes with two metro cards that you simply need to top up to get on your way. The. Neighborhood also has wonderful restaurants, shops and places to grab a latte. The apartment kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook the occasional meal. The hosts quickly responded to all of our questions. Highly recommended!"

  "5 stars isn't enough for this place! Kelly offers a GREAT place in a FANTASTIC location for any trip to DC! We came for inauguration events, and found the location could not be beat. So convenient to Metro and a great neighborhood with restaurants, great shops (don't miss Hill's Kitchen). The neighborhood was family-friendly, clean and safe. Kelly is a SUPER host who pays attention to all the details. He provided valuable information before and during our stay... even responding to last-minute questions and offering referrals to local businesses/resources as needed. And he's thought of just about anything you may need to know in his comprehensive Tips & Tricks book. With Kelly, I really felt like I had a friend I could count on if I needed anything during the trip. That was a nice bonus. The place was CLEAN, the bed was firm and I slept like a log. Love the "nesting" thermostat, simple instructions about recycling and composting, handy toiletries and the weekend delivery of the Washington Post! Everything was great, and you simply cannot beat this location for a great base from which to explore all of DC!"

  "My husband, dog, and I were moving from California to DC and needed a place to stay temporarily while waiting for our new home and household goods to be ready. We stayed in Kelly's apartment for a week and loved it. After a lot of time on the road and living out of suitcases, it was wonderful to feel at home. The apartment is very comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. We were so thankful to have the opportunity to cook after far too much road food. The extra amenities such as the TV with access to Netflix was great when needing to unwind. And you just can't beat the location - everything is at your door step. Kelly was extremely easy to communicate with and responded immediately to emails. The binder they have put together with tips and information is extremely helpful and answers any question we may have had. I would recommend this apartment to anyone. If you are coming to DC, this is the place to stay. "

Best in dc, in my opinion, when it comes to mobility, transportation options (even driving from this location is easy), restaurants, daily needs (market, pharmacy, dog park, just a block away), site seeing, etc. Kelly is an amazing host. Fully stocked kitchen, everything you could ever need. You can hear the family upstairs, but its a joyous sound. We enjoyed our stay immensely."

  "We truly enjoyed our stay at this Eastern Market apartment. It was clean, fully functional, and a great price. Metro cards and bike share options were available, and we were able to park right out front with a parking pass from Kelly! We were within eye sight (across the street) from the Metro, and able to walk or bike anywhere because we were in the middle of everything. Kelly and Jack were both available for whatever we needed, and we stayed in constant contact from reservations through the stay. The apartment was underneath the home of 5, so early mornings while they were getting ready and out the door the noise was noticed. Other than that all was wonderful and we would recommend this location to others."

  "We are just back from a fabulous stay at Kelly and Jack's rental apartment. First, let me reassure those of you who are anxious about renting sight-unseen. This place is exactly as described. The pictures are accurate and complete. Kelly's description is honest and fair. If there is any fault to be found, it may be that Kelly does not rave enough about his neighborhood. This lovely condo is in a marvelous, lively, safe neighborhood that preserves a real sense of community while being very close to the center of Washington. There are many wonderful restaurants nearby. Transportation is also great. You're a stone's throw from a Metro stop, cabs are plentiful, and there's even a Capitol BikeShare right there. Kelly and Jack couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We had some specific needs for arrival and departure that were generously attended to. I strongly recommend this great apartment!!!"

  "You would be hard pressed to find a more comfortable and affordable place in a more convenient spot than this. Eastern Market is beautiful with many great shops and restaurants and the apartment is on one of the neighborhood's quiet and pretty side streets and within a stone's throw of the Metro. It is also nicely appointed and was a cozy retreat for the four of us (two parents, two boys 11 and 13) during our long weekend there. What's more, Kelly's hospitality and attention to detail is phenomenal. He arranged Metro passes for us and we had use of his BikeShare account, which allows you to ride community bikes from various pickup and drop off locations. He and his young family are right up stairs but we were so busy we never crossed paths. We had the misfortune of our vacation coinciding with Hurricane Sandy and when it forced us to alter our travel plans, Kelly worked with us to make it as painless as possible."

Shops & restaurants just a couple blocks away. Our hosts were wonderful, and confirmed previous reviews we read before booking the apartment. Efficient with everything needed - wonderful kitchen! Beds were very comfortable. Don't think we could have enjoyed it more!"

  "Kelly's Apartment is in a great location within a stone's throw from Eastern Market Metro Station. It is alos a short walk to cafes, resturants, bars and an organic market. I found the apartment well appointed, clean and very easy to stay at. It is a short travel on the bus or metro into downtown DC and I chose to walk in a number of time which I found pleasant and a good way to take in the area.. Kelly is very good and communicates well. He provides great information on the area. I would certainly recommend Kelly. If you're going to DC, this is the aprtment you want. Kelly thanks for all of your help, one of my best stays. Cheers Kevin "

  "What a great stay. Easy. perfect location. The Metro passes were absolutely useful. Kelly's communication with me provided everything I needed. I was a first time Airbnb user and he walked me through everything. From my annoying and constant calls trying to get into the property early to the moment we checked out Kelly's property and his handling of it surpassed my expectations. The place is stocked with some essentials that make traveling easier. Ketchup for instance. We cooked the food we brought from the Eastern Market one night and of course forgot some condiments but Kelly had everything we needed. Its small things that which really made Kelly's property a great stay. He made my second trip out to DC even better than the first. I plan on visiting DC again and Staying at Kelly's property would ensure for a fun, safe, comfortable experience. Thank you Kelly for you hospitality"

  "We thought Kelly's place was the best place we stayed in on our trip to the USA. It was a beautiful and clean apartment, extremely close to the metro and also to the capitol. On our last day we walked in to the Library of Congress! It was a breeze to check ourselves in, and communication was smooth. The metro cards that Kelly left for us to use made our lives so much easier and cheaper. Other tourists were asking us where we got them! I am going to be recommending this place to my friends who plan to visit DC. "

  "Charmant petit appartement très bien situé (métro, marché, parcs) et comportant tout le confort qu'on puisse espérer pour un beau séjour dans la capitale. L'organisation 100% électronique de Kelly est super efficace. Il fournit un guide complet pour profiter de l'appartement et des environs. Nous sommes une famille de 6 et comme nos enfants sont encore jeunes, l'appartement, quoique petit, était assez grand pour nous. Bon séjour ! Lovely little apartment ideally located (metro, market, parks) and featuring everything you need for a nice time in DC. Kelly's 100% e-planning is very efficient. He offers tips to enjoy the flat and the neighbourhood. Though the appartment has only 1 bedroom, it was big enough for our family of 6, as our kids are still young. Have a pleasant stay ! "

We were able to eat breakfast and prepare bag lunches before heading out to enjoy the sites of DC. The apartment is also very conveniently located, across the street from a metro stop but also walking distance to capital hill. Kelly was available to answer any questions we had and provided a helpful binder of information."

Metro 1/2 block (direct to center of Capitol Mall) or you can walk one block and look down the street and see Capitol Building. Great casual dining and restraurant scene within a few blocks (7th and 8th Streets). Eastern Market open daily and a Farmers Market and Faire on weekends (two blocks). Stores (even a FedX) within a block. Our whole experience was great and we would definately stay here again when returning to DC. Thanks Kelly!"

I rented the apartment on behalf of two artist friends from out of town, and Kelly went the extra mile to provide tailored suggestions for them. It left an incredible impression of hospitality and generosity. The apartment is cozy and outfitted with every convenience of home, and small touches of a boutique hotel. The location next to the metro stop is incredibly convenient!"

  "What a terrific weekend my husband and I had at DC's Eastern Market area! Kelly was extremely helpful and responsive to all inquiries and needs. Staying in the garden apartment was not only more convenient than a hotel but also a much better "experience". We could walk to terrific restaurants, enjoy the Eastern Market shopping,and take advantage of all the benefits staying in such a well located apartment provided. Kelly checked in with us after we arrived and made himself available for any questions or concerns. Highly recommend the Boxcar Cafe across from the Eastern Market for brunch and dinner! Many thanks to Kelly for making our trip to DC most enjoyable!!!"

  "First, Kelly was great with pre-trip communication. There's a lockbox out front which makes it very convenient as our check in was in the evening. The awesome clean/efficient DC Metro stop is right across the street. It's so convenient. Even with tired children, they can make it "home" from the subway after a day of touring. There is a puppy park/playground literally one block away and another playground one block past that one. The neighborhood is beautiful with lovely walks right around the corner. The Eastern Market is a few blocks away and my kids and I loved being able to go there in the morning for great bakery goodies and food shopping needs and the weekend flea market is really fun. So DC and cool to see it was started ny Thomas Jefferson! There is a great toy story by there and gelato ice cream. The Capitol area is just blocks away and the Mall is only a few metro stops away. The apt is so cozy! The fireplace was wonderful and Kelly alwasy kept the wood well stocked out back. There is a sweet sitting area out front which my friend and I enjoyed after the kids passed out early from all the touring/walking. Kelly was incredible with communication if ever I needed anything. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with cooking supplies and a Yes Organics food shop is around the corner which had great stuff especially for snacks for the day (which of course I had to throw out at the Capitol tour and the White House!...fyi read fine print for these tours!) So I encourage ANYONE looking for a great place in DC to try and book this place. The bed was so comfortable that it was the best sleep I've had in ages...even with my two little ones I couldn't wait to sink in there. The laundry was great for me to have as well. There are no drawbacks at all...wish I could of stayed longer and look forward to coming back again (since I had a rained out ballgame and still have senate gallery passes to use!) if there's availability!"

  "Four days before our trip to DC, our original Airbnb host had to cancel. We were scrambling to find a place to stay and Kelly emailed me back almost immediately! He was always great with emailing back quickly before we got there. He went out the night before we got there to get a lockbox which was incredibly helpful so we could "check-in and out" easily. The location of the apartment is PERFECT!!! You're literally across from the Metro and just down the street from tons of restaurants, bars, the Capitol Building and the Mall, and Nationals Park. Kelly was great too at recommending places to go and giving info on getting to the airport, etc. The apartment is stocked with everything you could possibly need and the one thing that wasn't (a hair dryer) they went and picked up immediately, which was amazing! The bed (and the futon!) were both super comfortable. The apartment is in the basement of their gorgeous old rowhouse, so you will hear some floorboards creaking and the water running, but that just adds to the charm! Next time we are in DC, we hope to be able to stay with them again!"

  "I used to live not far from this apartment, so I knew the neighborhood well. It was nice to see just how much the area has changed. The bike rental is an amazing addition to the area, for example. I don't ride, but it's helpful to have. Even if this flat hadn't been as nice as it actually was, its location alone would have made it absolutely awesome. I have read the reviews that people write on this and similar sites where people say the flat is located in X area, but the reality is that it's in Y area. That is not the case here. It is ridiculously close to the metro, which came in handy when I couldn't control myself shopping at various malls, and also when I spent the morning on the National Mall doing an incredible amount of walking. Knowing that I was almost in the door as I ascended in the escalator was a very good thing. Another thing that I read a lot on reviews here is the facility with which they can connect to the internet. Again, it was painless. My netbook connected with absolute ease. [My main laptop didn't, but that was *my* problem, as I had forgotten just how locked down to my home network it was. If you have a laptop that is extremely customised to your home network, remember to unlock it before traveling.] The fireplace in the apartment worked, which is a very nice touch. There was wood available, and I caught up on some last-minute work while tending a nice warming fire. The early spring nighttime temperatures were what most northeasterners would call mild, but seven years in Cape Town has made me a bit of a weather wimp -- spring temps in Washington was basically mid-winter Capetonian weather, and it was nice to have the fire, which was also nice to sit in front of while watching television [and, since this matters on Airbnb, the TV does come with cable]. There's a washer and dryer, which is also a good thing, and an obscene amount of closet space if you are, like me, someone who likes to properly unpack clothing when on holiday. All in all, this is an excellent place, and I would highly recommend it."
