The kitchen is ready for the home chef to prepare meals at home. It is well-stocked with the essential utensils, pots, and pans.

Great spot for seeing D.C.

This home was a great base for our family trip to D.C. It has convenient access to 395 and generally an easy drive into the district and seeing all the monuments, museums, and public buildings D.C. has to offer.

Graduation Weekend

My family had a wonderful stay at the house. It was about a 15-20 minute drive to DC. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The house had everything we needed, down to toiletries and kitchen amenities. There was ample space for us to spread out, and the decor was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this property.

Great location

Property is close to almost everything, located in residential neighborhood. People park on both sides of the street so it is difficult to get through if someone is coming in the opposite direction. The house is great except the carpets are stained. The 2 upstairs rooms didn't cool down as much as we would like and the basement was almost too cold. Would stay here again though.

Great rental experience/choice for DC area visit

Hershey house was a great choice for our family wedding weekend. I especially liked the huge walk-in closet in the MBR with access to the bathroom and beautiful shower. Bed was comfy. Living area was perfect for gathering with comfortable seating. Couch could easy be used for sleeping if needed. Kitchen is bright and cheery and well stocked. The home is on 3 levels plus basement with stairs between kitchen and living room, and between living room a 2 of the bedrooms. Nice location…easy to hop on expressways and an easy Uber or drive to the Van Dorn metro stop. Host responded promptly to questions and was very accommodating. This is a great rental for your DC visit.
