Townhouse was lovely and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family of eight. It was located with easy access to everything the city offered but just enough out of the way to relax and unwind from the busy days. Hosts were easily accessible and quick to help answer questions. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

The apartment was very clean, amenities just as advertised, and there was plenty of space for all of us (6 people in 4 bedrooms). The host was very responsive to our questions, Claire is the best! The apartment is on the D36 line which took us to the Convention Center and linked us to downtown. We alternated between daily passes and recharging our cards for single tickets, we never used Uber, adding up to a significant saving. All in all, a great stay, we will come back again when in DC! Thank you!

Great place to stay!

Great place to stay for our visit to DC. The house was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. It’s located a simple 15-20 min walk from the No-Ma Gallaudet metro station and also near Union station. Trader Joe’s was a 10-15 min walk away, which made picking up some groceries easy.Owners were helpful and quick to respond before our stay and during our stay.It was a great stay!

This was the nicest place I’ve stayed at. The house is decorated nicely with a layout that’s perfect for groups or families. It was very clean and comfortable. Communication from the hosts was very clear from check in to check out. They were very pleasant hosts. Many restaurants within walking distance. Area seemed safe us, but our group was six guys and the area was covered in ice and snow so not many people were out and about. The only room for improvement, in my opinion, would be a larger water heater (cold showers after 3 showers). Check out at 11 or check in at 3:00 would be nice as well, but 10 and 4:00 aren’t unreasonable. If I’m ever in DC again with a group, I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Clean, well appointed, great communication, but get a parking spot through an app. The metro was a bit of a hike with luggage and tired kids, so we used ride services for most days. The hosts were very quick to respond, and there was a grocery store nearby. Overall, this was an incredibly easy stay.

Nice place near some great transit

The X2 line is only a few blocks away and is one of the easiest buses to use. If you don't mind a 20-30 minute bus ride (which is honestly nothing, just enough time to let the morning coffee kick in) to downtown it's the perfect place. Would stay again.
