This is a great location for families wanting to explore DC! The home is beautifully updated while maintaining the historic character of the home. It was a very comfortable place for our family of five. We felt that the location (a short 5-7 minute walk from the Columbia Heights Metro station) gave us a quieter place to retreat after lots of walking and sightseeing downtown. Nearby are many restaurants and shops, including a Target for any forgotten necessities. This was a great find!

The property is in a great location in regards to proximity to sights. It was also a plus to have a grocery store and parking garage the next street over. The place was overall very clean and tidy but had a couple oversights when cleaning.

Nice, clean place, close to metro

The place is exactly as described. Very clean, with comfortable beds. We had trouble with the key pad upon arrival. I had to contact the owner directly because the property manager wasn't answering. Owner figured out the issue for us. Turns out that the instructions that were e-mailed to us were missing a key piece (the instructions that were provided in the guest-book in the unity were much clearer). We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the metro station. Very diverse neighborhood. Parking was nearby in a garage above the supermarket, super easy walk.

Great location

The property was in a great location. Property owner allowed us to leave our luggage there before checkin which allowed us to spend most of the day sightseeing luggage free. Other than the kitchen, there wasn’t a room that allowed all of us to hang out. As we mainly just slept there, it worked out fine.

Great location

We arrived a little ahead of schedule, texted property manager and they stated we can get in then. Close to grocery store and target, and some fast food places (all walking distance). The parking garage they suggested that we use was very easy from start to finish (booking the dates and paying online to checking out with the booth at the garage).One thing the picture (description) doesn't state the den/bunk bed room it's in the queen bedroom upstairs.

Easter in DC

we very much enjoyed our trip to Washington DC. There were 6 guests and the 13 year old 7th grader is so into history that this was THE trip of his young life. Our guest house was perfect and even though there were other guests, it was very private and secure. Everything was as described and the neighborhood was so cool . Great restaurants in walking distance. we highly recommend this location. Easy Metro access, safe and vibrant neighborhood. Very much enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to return
