Beautiful, clean, convenient, quiet, all the amenities were there. Check in process was fine once we got the code, but parking specifics were not clear prior to check in, which would’ve been super helpful (though nicely pointed out in the detailed packet in the house). Super dog friendly and nice secure parking once we found it.Would come again!
Nice neighborhood, walking distance to stores and restaurants. Nice dog park one street over. House is beautiful! Nice fenced in area out back where you can park your car in a gated area.
Property was nice. Location by Howard university was convenient to the Mall. Between your own car and ride share, no problem getting around. Purpose of stay: family vacationThe good: 3 bedrooms and bathrooms were in good shape, clean, and very livable. Kitchen was good sized and well stocked , and the gated parking was awesome!! Lots of extra bedding and blankets and it was great to give our kids their own rooms. What could improve: property does have a washer and dryer but unfortunately the washer had mold, so we could not use it. Recommend the owners make a plan to deep clean it . That made our stay a bit inconvenient as we didn’t bring enough clothes for the whole week and had to hand wash some. We had ants in the kitchen the last 3 days, and the pantry for the kitchen was not cleaned and very cluttered. Checkout: easy, all they need you to do is make piles for the linens and towels, start the dishwasher and clean any trash out. Wishlist : it would be nice to have a TV in the master, but there were two downstairs. And a Clean washer. Noise: not bad! A few sirens every now and then but nothing abnormal, mostly quiet! Pet friendly: yes. Would we stay again? Yes. Despite the few challenges, the host was responsive and the condo in my opinion was a good deal for what you get, the location, and the room to stretch out. The parking is a huge plus, it’s rare to find that in DC.
Perfect location close enough to scooter or Uber to the district in a couple of minutes. Loads of great places to eat in a very safe neighborhood. The house itself is beautiful, very clean and very ample space for the number of guests that they allow. We will be coming back anytime we come to DC if this awesome spot is available.
This was an excellent stay! Great location, wonderful courtyard and so convenient private parking!! The home was lovely and the beds were super comfortable!! Would highly recommend!!

Perfect Spot
This house was exceptionally well suited for a quick weekend away. Close to a wide variety of food spots, coffee and drink joints. Even a couple breweries. Very quiet at night and seemed quite safe at all times. We plan to return to this same spot each time we head back down.
I can't say enough how wonderful this stay was. Check-in was so easy. The place was clean and beautiful. The location was also great! We hope to stay here again, loved it!
The location and size were perfect for us and we were even able to host friends for dinner or to hang out in the living room or back patio. The outdoor space was a plus for sure. Very clean and the communications and check in process went seamlessly!
Perfect perfect perfect! Loved the location and the cleanliness and decor of this home! The host had this place stocked with all the items we would need for the weekend in this lovely space! From pans to appliances to plenty of linens!
This was a lovely home for a weeks stay in DC. We were able to work remotely and still quickly get to places around town in the evenings. This made a work trip feel like a vacation! Very safe and modern property. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a larger place to stay in DC!
I was very pleased with my stay at this property. The off street parking was secure and convenient. The location of the house couldn't have been better. As well as, the layout and amenities were just right. The host was gracious enough to allow us to check in a little early. In my opinion, the house has been recently updated and the workmanship really complements the home. This makes for an enjoyable stay. I would stay here again.

Great place to stay to tour DC
We stayed with a family of 4 to see all the sights of DC. It's an easy 10 minute walk to the Shaw Howard Metro station. We felt safe and never really had concerns. The house has 3 bedrooms upstairs with a full bath and a living, dining, kitchen, and half bath downstairs. The kitchen all the supplies we could have hoped for. It's a great place to stay and I would recommend it! If you stay, walk to Andy's Pizza on V St, it's great!
This property was very clean, perfect location to downtown, and allowed our dogs. My only complaint was how close the house is to the bad side of town. Police sirens by the house non stop, walked our daughter to the park and there were cops arresting someone there so we left. Otherwise beautiful house

Very nice home
This was my 1st time staying in a rental home. Everything was clean and visually appealing when we walked in. There really were no major issues except we couldn't adjust the Nest thermostat on the 1st floor and it was a bit chilly throughout our stay.
One of the best all around properties I have stayed at. Amenities were extremely comfortable and the location was excellent. We felt like we had free reign to explore
the vibrant neighbourhood on foot as well as easy UBER/public transportation access to get around the District. The neighbourhood itself had a very quaint restored Victorian vibe, with tons of options for food, drink and experiences. Our host contact was very personable and accommodating. Book this property if you want access to the best of DC while staying in a clean, vibrant and beautiful environment. As out of towners, we also felt very safe and surrounded by lots of people going about their days and evenings.
The house was beautiful with modern amenities and in a good location to see all of DC. We Loved that it included a parking space. Our only complaint was that when we arrived and wanted to go to bed we had to change ALL of the sheets and the duvet, because there was so much long white dog hair in the bed, on the pillowcases and on the duvet. We tried another set and it also, had so much dog hair. Unfortunately, my daughter is very allergic. We know how important and wonderful it is that there are places to stay that allow pets. We love taking ours too, just wished it had been cleaned enough to remove the hair before we got there. Other than that, this place is amazing. We really loved that they provided games and plenty of towels to use. The beds were also very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.
Booked for long weekend with a jazz concert and the Smithsonian Museums. Got the concert in but then a snowstorm. Fortunately, the home was well stocked and DoorDash was running. The WiFi and free premium stations helped make our time in most enjoyable. The onsite parking was an incredible convenience. But the gate did need hardware repair as it was swinging open with wind. Customer service was fabulous when I had to recover an item left behind. Absolutely loved my stay.

Fantastic place, great location!
Our stay at this townhouse was fantastic. The home itself is clean, well equipped, the beds were fairly comfortable and the neighbors were quiet. There is a little market/convenience store within walking distance to get the small things. There are some great restaurants (loved Shaws), and a great brewery (Right Proper), less than a 10 minute walk away, and the Shaw/Howard Metro stop is about the same distance. LeDroit park is great for the kiddos.No real complaints at all, parking was easy, and although it is listed as one private parking spot, which is in the backyard/patio, we were able to squeeze a second small car in there, so we did not have to seek out street parking (one full size SUV and one mid size car).If you like a firm bed, use the back bedroom, soft bed use the front.Only complaints, and these are minor and easily remedied...The main bathroom shower head pressure and sink pressure are very low. It was tough to even wash hands in the sinks upstairs. I think the restrictors or aerators are clogged. And a broom would have been helpful to clean up after ourselves (dogs).But otherwise...absolutely great! If we come back to DC, this will most likely be our stop!
