Excellent host!! The apartment was really clean and I really appreciate the host going above and beyond with making sure that we were cared for. I have a sensitivity to heavy fragrances and she really followed through with caring about the environment we would come "home" to when we stayed there. It was well stocked with everything anyone would need! We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Best little get away.

This place was one of the best places we have stayed at ever. Very clean and quiet. We have traveled in country and out of country so we have had a little experience with this type of accommodation. We really liked Mr. Flash. Thank you for everything.

Great host and nice neighbourhood

We stayed with two kids. The flat was great for exploring all the sites around the national mall, which are just a few bus stops away. The neighbourhood itself is really lovely and relaxed, a farmers market is in five minutes walking distance. The host is great, super nice and was very helpful, even with our quite specific queries. We’d love to come back and would definitively stay there again.

***5-Star Experience! Kid/family-friendly***

My family of 4 (including an 18-month-old and six-year old) had an amazing experience! The property is located in a safe and well kept area. Every room in the property clean and toys, books, board games, and light snacks were a nice addition. The host is an excellent communicator and provided us with a useful guest handbook. Our stay was comfortable and we will book this property again. parking.
