Overall was amazing experience and would stay here again. Nice safe neighborhood, easy to park on street. Nearby walkable shopping and restaurants. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the shower was pretty cold but that is not enough for me to not stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was clean and quiet, the beds were comfortable, and it had plenty of space for our party of four. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, but the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. And we loved being close enough to walk to all of our planned tours at the Capitol and museums! We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed with our 13 and 14 year old teenagers. House was great, 4 blocks from Union Station (we took the train in from Philly) so we walked to the house. Grocery and wine store within a few blocks along with restaurants. Had everything we needed at the house and Andrew was an amazing host! We were able to get an early check in and had no problems during our stay - great neighborhood- highly recommend!

Thank you for the terrific review.
It is good to hear the train in from Philadelphia and the walk up from Union Station worked so well. That is one of the quiet advantages of our home’s location in Capitol Hill: with a grocery, a wine store, and good restaurants a few blocks away, a family can get settled and then spend the days on the city itself rather than getting to it. Whenever the schedule allows it, I reach out ahead of arrival to offer an early check-in, and I was pleased that worked out for your family and that the home had everything you needed.
I look forward to hosting your family again on a future trip to DC.

Perfect Capitol Hill Stay for Our FamilyThis property was exactly as described, which is to say it was awesome. The home is beautiful, comfortable, well appointed, and in a fantastic location. It was perfect for our family of five, with plenty of room to relax after full days exploring D.C.Andrew was an excellent host and incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Everything was easy, clear, and well communicated. We were able to walk or take short Uber rides to all the major tourist attractions, which made the trip so much easier.We’d absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Washington, D.C.!

Beautiful home! My family really enjoyed staying here. The location was perfect for exploring Washington DC. We were able to find street parking nearby for our rental car. I really appreciated the special touches most vacation rentals do no provide like drinking water, shampoo and conditioner and well located charging outlets.

We had a great time with our family in DC and this property was a perfect location. We were able to walk to the majority of sites with ease. We took our toddler grandson to the park which was a block away to their playground and were able to walk 9minutes to the Whole Foods for groceries. The house was very clean and Andrew was so easy to work with. We appreciated the city guide he provided. We highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a walkable location to all the DC sites.

I'm pleased the Capitol Hill location put everything within easy reach, and that the home lived up to expectations. Your care for the property throughout was appreciated, and I hope to host you all again.

This home was absolutely perfect for us! My husband and I took our first family trip to DC with my 12-year old and my dog. The house was clean and provided plenty of space. It is in a wonderful location and we were able to walk to great restaurants, sights, and museums. The host was incredibly responsive while we were looking at the house and continued to check in after we arrived. The guidebook for the house was super helpful. I would highly recommend this home!
