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.
I highly suggest staying at Mr. Flash's Flat. This basement apartment is in a good neighborhood near restaurants and a Metro station (15 min easy walk). It was very clean and quiet. Also, the host is wonderful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Patricia, It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your husband. You guys were fantastic guests from start to finish. Communication was smooth and respectful, and we appreciate you leaving our place in immaculate condition. We genuinely enjoyed hosting you all and would be delighted to welcome you back on your next trip to D.C.
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.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and our neighborhood.
It was truly delightful hosting your family! Your enthusiasm for exploring D.C. from the moment of your arrival was truly admirable. Your positive approach and determination to make the most of your trip shone through brilliantly.
Thank you so much for choosing to stay at Mr. Flash’s Flat.
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.
