Lovely house, nice neighbour, close to public transport.
Only negative, we left the back bedroom windows open 1 day and came back around 7pm to find that all upstairs had a cannabis smell.
This place was perfect for our stay. Easy access to bus/metro lines. Adorable neighborhood. Great communication with Kennie. Our only problem was an internet problem. It was a service provider problem (not Kennie’s fault) and he kept checking in with us until it was resolved. I highly recommend!!
This was a cute little place for the money. The on street parking wasn't an issue at all. The beds were comfortable. It was only a 15 minute walk to the metro station and having 2 metro cards available for use at the house was a great little bonus. The downstairs neighbors weren't too loud, but you could hear their conversations. It wasn't really an issue. The host was great when VRBO didn't sent us the check in instructions. The list of checkout tasks wasn't intense, either. Overall, it was a great little place for our stay in DC!
Perfect location for my stay. This property is well maintained, clean, roomy and tidy. Owner replys quickly.

Owner was very helpful and kind, available to talk to with concerns.
Home was what we needed and nicely located around where we wanted to be.
The neighborhood was pretty quiet.
Smaller older building, cozy enough to stay in comfortably.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable, had enough space to hang out and the mattresses were comfortable. It is an easy 1/2 mile walk to the Metro station which we found easy to navigate. There is a pizza restaurant to pick up dinner at on your walk back to the house from the Metro. We had a maintenance problem and the host responded quickly and took care of the problem promptly. He answered our questions promptly too. I would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay. We arrived at night and at first were concerned about the location, as we drove in off of a road that was not the one close to Catholic University, and it gave off a very different vibe (all this to say, don’t be alarmed if you come this way too!). The house is old, but well-maintained and has even more space than the listing portrayed. We never felt unsafe, and this is coming from a family with a lot of young kids. We even took advantage of the pack n’ play and high chair that were a pleasant surprise to find at the place, as we did not see them listed in the listing.
We walked to the metro station (which is right by Catholic University) and found it easy to use the red line train to get all over the place. It was about a 1/2 mile walk to the station, and did have a few small up and down hills, but it was doable even with a double stroller.
Street parking was never an issue in terms of finding a spot right by the unit. Thanks for a great place to stay!
This was the perfect house for our Washington DC family trip. It was clean and comfortable. The host provided everything that we needed for an easy stay and was very accommodating. . It was a quick walk to the metro. I would happily stay here again if we came back to the area.
The home was very comfortable and homey. Conveniently located, short Uber ride to the museums and memorials. The host was very kind and responsive as well. Would stay again!
This place was exactly what our family needed for a first-time trip to DC. Easy access to public transit, grocery store close by and a safe neighborhood. The metro is a good 10 to 15 minute walk (up and down hills) but bus stops are close by. We did our grocery shopping the first day but stopped at CVS for stuff we forgot. Kennie was great about responding to my questions. I would definitely stay here again!

Why they chose this property
Great house in a quiet neighborhood. 15-minute walk to the Brookland Metro stop on the Redline, making it extremely convenient to get around DC while still staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The sunroom in the back is the perfect room to take a nap or read a book, giving flexibility to either explore the city or relax. The hosts were fast and efficient in answering questions and helping out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you'll need to cook, and the house is always clean. Every guest loved this place a lot, it literally checks every box needed.
What makes this property unique
One of the few places in DC that has free parking without any issues. Extremely quiet, and family-oriented neighborhood. Walking distance to local restaurants and public transportation for quick access to the downtown area.
