Excellent spot in a great location!

This is a great spot in an unbeatable location in Columbia Heights. Two big beds and a twin bed comfortably fit five people. The couch is surprisingly comfy. The full kitchen was outfitted with a kettle and coffeemaker, and the whole place was clean and cozy. The neighborhood is lovely, feels very safe, and is walking distance to many coffee shops and good restaurants. Lois was super helpful and allowed us to check out late so that we didn't have to lug our bags around before our flight! Great communication.

Exactly as advertised

Ease of booking, modest price and phenomenal location make this a perfect D.C. option. Apartment was extremely clean, all amenities as advertised, and was close (really close- easy five minute walk) to Metro, shopping, grocery store, wonderful vegan cafe and too many restaurants to mention. Only small detractor was the street noise, but all but inescapable in the city. Given the tight staircase leading up, would not recommend to someone with limited mobility; but not an issue otherwise. Will definitely be back!

Great location

A very convenient location. 4-5 minute walk to the subway, grocery store and restaurants. 2 Queen beds in the large central room. 1 small bed in a side room. The small side room almost works as a separate bedroom, except you have to go through the side room to get to the bathroom. 2 of the 4 burners on the range don't work. 2 working burners is enough, just check which ones they are before you start trying to cook.

A wonderful vacation spot

Our 10 day vacation to Washington exceeded our expectations. Lois' home was all we could have asked for. It is very clean, comfortable and well furnished. It is within easy walking distance to the Metro(2 blocks) the grocery store (1 block) shopping (2 blocks) and a variety of restaurants (1-2 blocks). We spent every day going to all the various sights DC has to offer which are quite affordable since most are free and the Metro makes them all convenient. The MARC from Union Station also provides affordable transportation to Baltimore. Lois was so nice to deal with. She was always very pleasant and responsive and even called on our arrival to make sure everything was as expected. We could not have asked for a better person to do business with and consider this place a real value. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to DC when the grandkids are a little older.

Great Stay in a lovely apartment!

We just returned from our family vacation to DC, and other than the heat, it was wonderful. The apartment in Columbia Heights was exactly as described, very charming and the perfect size for our family of 3...although a larger family could be acommodated nicely as well. The location was perfect, a short 6 minute walk to the Metro which allowed us to travel back and forth to anywhere in DC. The grocery store was a block away, as were fountains where kids can play, a frozen yogurt shop, Target, and restaurants. The apartment itself is nicely decorated, well-stocked and clean. The only small complaint I had was that the bathroom was in the second bedroom, which caused us to wake our son early each morning as we got ready for the day. Other than that, which wasn't a big deal, it was great! There is a washer/dryer in the unit which we took advantage of, as well as the necessities in the kitchen. We would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again if we ever get back to DC. Thank you Lois, it was perfect a trip.

Adequate & affordable. Lacks attention to detail.

This property provided an adequate & affordable option for our visit to D.C. The location was about a 10 minute walk to the Colombia Heights Metro station, and several shopping options. The neighborhood seemed fairly safe, but the metro station area got a little sketchy at night. We stayed in the upstairs apartment. On the surface, most areas appeared fairly clean, but honestly it could use a good deep clean & some attention to detail. Dust on the decorative panels of the interior doors, sheets that would not stay on one of the beds, plastic cover on the mattress that was very noisy with any movement on the bed, curtains that do not cover the entire window for additional light blocking, dishes that were in need of washing before using, etc.. Just had an overall feeling of being a little unkempt. The apartment really has a lot of potential, and I hope the owners invest some money & time into making it the true gem it could be.

Rude and demeaning costumer service

Overall, the stay was okay. Midway through my stay, the code to the apartment door was changed. Contacting the host was a nightmare; I tried calling the daytime number listed on Vrbo, but no one picked up. I had to call the after hours number (it was 3 pm, they said the regular number works from 9am-9pm). Upon calling I was met with an angry man yelling at me about how I was wrong about not being able to enter the unit with the code given. It got to a point where he was yelling at me telling me I was wrong, and another woman had to take the phone from him. The listing itself wasn’t a problem at all, it was just horrible communication with the host.

Great location! Peaceful nights sleep.

My husband, daughter, myself and my parents stayed in this unit over Memorial Day weekend. We had absolutely no trouble finding a place to park on the street the entire weekend. The location is amazing, one block from any store you may need and only a few blocks from the Metro. We found it very convenient. The Columbia Heights stop is only a 15 minute ride or so to the heart of DC and all of the attractions. We enjoyed dinner, sitting outdoors, at The Heights restaurant the first night, which is around the corner from the apartment. They had great food and service. I highly recommend their freshly made Mojitos. The apartment itself was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The beds were extremely comfortable and the street noise was minimal. I think the air conditioner ,masked whatever there was of it. The first morning we ran into a few small snags, the coffee maker didn't work, the television would only play one channel, but these things were taken care of immediately after I made a phone call. We slept 5 people there comfortably and my son, who was staying at the University of Maryland, stayed with us one night on an air mattress provided by the owner. There was plenty of room if you don't have a problem sharing one bathroom, which we didn't. Overall, our stay was great. We especially enjoyed a visit to the Newseum, a new attraction to Washington that is definitely worth a look. My kids, who are 9 and 12 loved it too.

Better shower fast.

It appears that this home was once a private residence that has been converted into several apartments for rent through VRBO. We rented this one because it had washer/dryer. However, it did not dry at all. We had to spent our 1st morning at a laundromat instead of enjoying our vacation. Also, according to posted sign, the garbage disposal was out of order. Despite that, there was stuffed food in to the sink. The sink wouldn’t drain. As the space is in Wash DC & it is July, it is hot/humid. We were not in a position to adjust the thermostat as it was under locked & key & set to 76 degrees. Then, there was the shower. While the shower was perfectly acceptable, the sign on the wall told us that the water would run cold in 5 minutes. Unwilling to test it out, my family of 5 took micro showers to ensure we got some warm water. Thankfully, the apartment was SO HOT, that cool showers were welcomed. We choose this apartment because it was advertised to be close to the Mall. Well, if you mean the nearby small shopping mall, that is just around the corner. However, if you didn’t go to DC for shopping at Target, but instead went to see the National Mall, then you are close only if you think of a 5k race as close. Finally, there was the German family that somehow had the code to our apartment and came in, uninvited. While shopping for groceries at the "mall," we left the teen-aged kids in the apartment. Panicked, they called to tell us that another family used a code to open the locked door & entered the room insisting they were the rightful tenets. While it is not the property owners fault that someone made a mistake, I question how they gained access to our apartment. We contacted the management via text (their means of communication). Several hours later, they responded. I told tell them of the other issues (the sink & dryer). They never responded. This was a nice enough area that is returning to better days. Many home were renovated, but many were run down. We never felt unsafe walking to Metro, or laundromat. However, it was missing some of the key ingredients we thought we were getting: close proximity to the National Mall, a washer/dryer that dries, a fully functioning sink, un-timed showers, control of a thermostat, and the security of knowing that while we would be the only folks in the apartment durning out stay.

Great Stay with Convenient Location

It was a short 30 min Metro trip after boarding the metro at the DCA airport to get to the nearest metro stop to the apartment. Afterwards, it was only a short 10 min walk which is super convenient, because you can use the Metro to get within a short walking distance of many major DC tourist attractions. I recommend using Capital Bikeshare to get to other attractions like West Potomac Park that are a little more out of the way. There are a couple mild complaints I had about housekeeping - there were wet towels in their washing machine they hadn't taken care of and coffee still in the coffee maker upon arrival. All in all, it was a clean stay and didn't have the "dirty clean" feeling of a hotel room.

During the middle of the night, water began streaming from ceiling onto the bed. Property manager eventually responded. Bedding (which was soaked through) was changed. Ceiling water damage was not.

2 bedroom apartment in nice neighborhood

Nice location and clean apartment. However the only bathroom was through 2nd bedroom so privacy may be an issue. We made it work, though. Also, when exiting front door it was hard to get door locked. Manager said he would fix the strike plate for deadbolt so that is probably not an issue. Location and cleanliness outweighed all for us. Recommended with this input.

Good location / Bad experience with management

While the location and unit were what we needed for our stay, we arrived and the unit had not been cleaned. Towels were laying out, sheets still undone, and no trash was taken out. We engaged the management company to get a cleaner there ASAP to prepare the unit as it was supposed to be, and their first answer was that we could cancel with 100% of our refund. We were already there -- cancelling was not an option. Ultimately it took about 2 hours to get the unit cleaned. The management company agreed to refund us the cleaning fee for our trouble, and a month later, that has still not happened. I have followed up through VRBO and off line to recoup that commitment,(which they made in writing), and they have ignored it. You can't beat the location, but be weary of a manager who was not truthful with us and has not resolved this issue. I do not recommend.

This unit is spacious and was right where we wanted to be, just 2 blocks from the Columbia Heights metro. The control for the A/C was not in the unit so the unit was very cold during out stay. Our only frustration was that we were not able to make the temperature what we found comfortable. Besides that, the place worked out great and the managers are very responsive and helpful.

Nice location, could have been cleaner.

When we arrived, the apartment was about 85 degrees, but fortunately didn't take too long to cool off. It is small, but we knew that when we booked it. I had talked to Lois, the owner, prior to our stay and told her to make sure we had top sheets for the beds, because I noticed on other reviews that this was a common complaint, She said she'd take of it. We didn't have top sheets and the apartment could've used a good cleaning - it was dusty, the oven wasn't clean and there was melted plastic on the one one of the burners. But the location is great! Very close to restaurants, a grocery store and some of the parks - all within walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Good apartment for families!

This apartment worked out really well for us! We had the benefit of 2 queen beds in the same room (for families with young children who don't want to sleep in a different room), plus a small kitchen, and an extra room for my aunt who came with us. You do have to walk through the small bedroom (which also has the washer/dryer) to get to the bathroom, as other guests noted. Also, as per other reviews, we had problems with the washer/dryer taking forever (and we wished there had been better instructions), problems finding the keys to adjust the thermostat (which is in the hall), and some minor problems getting our questions answered from the person who helps with the apartment (it would have been nice to have received the wifi info over email, since the book with that info had been removed and placed on the first floor in the hallway - which we didn't discover until day 2). Other than those minor issues, the kitchen worked out great for a breakfast of eggs and/or cereal each day before we left, the proximity to a grocery store was a big plus (and cute restaurants right near by that we are sad we didn't get to visit). The neighborhood felt very safe - lots of people walking around. We did rent a car, which worked out well for us, though parking late at night was sometimes a challenge since you have to find a spot. (The permit, which you must arrange with the property manager and pay $20 for, only allows you to park in the neighborhood... there is no guaranteed spot.) It took us 20 min. to drive to the mall - and parking there was around $20 for the day. It gave us extra flexibility and worked out well for us since we were a group of 5. I would recommend this apartment, and I would stay there again. You can also talk to Lois about paying through paypal to avoid vrbo's new annoying fees - which I really appreciated.
