Nice comfortable place for my family of seven. We were able to relax and have our own space. The neighborhood was convenient in relatively safe as well.
This was a great house that was nicely updated and comfortable for our family of 5. It was well stocked and convenient to local attractions. The bathrooms and kitchen were nicely updated while still maintaining the classic charm of the house and neighborhood. It was a short walk to restaurants, bars and convenience stores.
Charming apt, clean and comfortable for 6 adults. Well equipped kitchen, great location, quiet area but short walk to lively U street with clubs and restaurants. We had a great stay.
House was as expected based on the pictures, website, and previous reviews. It worked great for our group who was attending a conference at the convention center.

Great mixture of nostalgia and modern amenities
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here! Very convenient location!
The two reasons I am rating 3 out of 5 are that most inside doors and door handles were broken or loose, and so was the shower. It did not produce hot water. We also had to buy toilet paper because we were not given enough for the stay. The location is terrific, there was plenty of living space, and it was clean. We also appreciated the additional blowup bed, because the sleeper sofa is in a tiny room and really doesn't work for 2 additional people.
Stayed here while moving my daughter into her dorm at Howard. This was the perfect place. Easy to get to Howard (walking). Had all of the amenities we needed. Check in was easy. We had no issues at all.
The property is as listed and fully stocked with essentials. We are 50 and were able to easily walk to the Mall. Very pleasant neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We enjoyed Shaws Tavern and DCity Smokehouse as places to eat.
Pictures are an accurate representation of property. Nice neighborhood. Liked the historical feel of the property and location. Clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
I loved this place! The set up was perfect for us (3 bedrooms to accommodate 3 couples) You did have to walk through 1 bedroom to get to the other bedroom, but it was fine. Most importantly, it was very clean. And we really liked the neighborhood!
Wonderful location. Quick walk (10 mins) to the Metro line at Shaw/Howard. Several restaurant options close by. The LeDroit market is literally right around the corner if you need just a couple of little things. The house has charm and character with some squeaky floors and steps (in case that bothers you - it didn’t bother us). Nice kitchen. FYI you walk through the master bedroom (with the walk in shower en-suite) to get to the back bedroom. Austin was very responsive despite the fact that he was out of the country and on a very different time zone. Could be a little cleaner and the couch is a little saggy.
The house was a perfect location. Very easy to drive to the tourist attractions. We really liked having the private driveway and parking spot in the back. The only complaint we had is the back bedroom is extremely drafty and it was very cold in there. It appeared the heater in there did not work. We covered the drafty door with a blanket, which helped. We would definitely stay here again!
We brought our large family to DC for a week of sightseeing. The house was perfect for our family of 7. The neighborhood was nice and metro access was only about a 10 minute walk away. Also, if you are into this type of thing, there is a bar about 2 blocks away called the Gold Clover. Go check it out
The accommodations were great for a quick trip up to DC. The house is older and cozy. One surprise is that one of the bedrooms is inside another bedroom, so with a group of singles and a couple it made it a bit awkward to organize sleeping arrangements but we were able to work it out. Thank you for contributing to a great weekend.
