This is a great place to stay in a wonderful neighborhood. The waterfront park is a short walk away and there are many cafes, pubs, and restaurants nearby. There is even a Trader Joe's just around the corner. The apartment is well furnished and very quiet with a king sized bed. It's all very nice.

We had a great time. Centrally located to jump on the train to DC or take a drive to Mt Vernon or Annapolis for an easy day trip. Great neighborhood to walk, with bars and restaurants under 1/2 mile away. We would stay again for sure. Host really does think of everything. Thanks.

Felt like we were at home

The townhome provided excellent accommodations. It had all the required amenities, making us feel completely at home. We knew where everything was, and we lacked nothing! Checking in and accessing the home was effortless, and it was conveniently located within walking distance of the charming King Street. Since we frequently visit family in the area, we'll definitely be staying here again.

Great location

Apartment is clean and cozy with everything you could want. It is a basement but daylight windows in bedroom and one higher window in living room. Very quiet for sleeping and comfortable bed and cotton sheets and duvet. Easy walk to river, Trader Joe’s, and light rail. Neighborhood felt very safe to walk day and night.

Great apartment and location

The apartment was perfect. The location was within walking distance to the Metro and Old Town. Rebecca the host thought of everything you may want or need. Several examples - umbrellas by the door in case it rains, bottled water in the refg, snacks, K-Cups for the coffee maker, etc. If you are looking for a place to stay in the DC area this is it.

Amazing place!!!

If you’re going to Wash DC this is a great find. You’re in a very quiet neighborhood, short 9min walk to the metro (or you can take the bus), few blocks from the river area, few blocks King Street where tons of yummy food is. If you’re driving an EV the charging station is half a block away. Rebecca is a super great host and is there should you need anything. It got a bit chilly and she made sure we had everything to stay warm. The apartment is very well maintained and super clean. She even had most of the major streaming platforms for something before bed. I can’t say enough how great of a find this was :)
