Hi Nate, It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed our home along with the location! It was a pleasure hosting you and we are looking forward to another opportunity in the future.
Repeat stay at this location! Our daughter lives in the neighborhood so it’s super convenient. Comfy, with everything we need, although the bed is pretty firm. Can always find street parking too.
Great VRBO! Great location and easy to get to all the monuments and museums! Nice to have parking available. The neighborhood was nice with great places to eat. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip.

Hi John, It's lovely to know that you enjoyed our home in addition to the neighborhood and all that it has to offer! Thank you for the recommendation, it was a pleasure hosting you and we are looking forward to another opportunity in the future.
I was in town for a work conference and all the hotels were very overpriced. I was looking for a nice apartment as an alternative, and this was perfect. Even had a little coffee/tea bar in the kitchen! Would stay here again!

This was a family trip with my husband and 6 yr old daughter to DC for the first time.
The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. The rental itself was well stocked and clean.. Would definitely stay here again.
Would definitely

Hi Korrie, It's great to know you had a great trip and you would stay with us again! We are looking forward to welcoming you back.
The property was exactly as it appeared in the listing. It’s a great location, clean, and comfortable. We had an issue with the plumbing on Christmas Day and had to check out early, because management was unable to get a plumber on the holiday. However, they were very responsive and refunded us for the remainder of the stay.

Decent place to stay in DC
The property is nice, but the sofa couch is not comfortable. It also does not pull out properly. The kitchen was great. At night time, keep in mind there are folks who live above the VRBO. It can get loud with the footsteps. Decent place though and the location was nice.

Hi Dunyau, We are glad you were happy with the space overall, thank you for sharing your feedback. We wish we had known you were having trouble with the sofa bed so we could have had the opportunity to assist you at the time. Overall, it was great hosting you and we would be happy to welcome you back in the future.
We had a 3 day tournament at the convention center. I was looking for a place to stay where my daughter could experience the feeling of living in a city. The apt was perfect experience for her. It was clean, new and a wonderful option vs a hotel. Every time we came or left a friendly neighbor was walking a dog. Having the apt allowed us to prepare food to fuel her during her day. Parking was easy which was a blessing. I was hoping to be able to and from the convention center - but found that lyft was a better option. All in all, a great experience.

Hi S, We are happy our home suited your needs and you had a great stay. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it was our pleasure to host you and we hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back in the future!
Nice place to stay for two people with no children since there is only one small bedroom. The area is nice and parking is easy on the street with the online resident parking pass. My only issues is this is very much a basement apartment so very little natural light or fresh air. My only complaint is that we were required to empty and dispose of all the trash and recycling even though the cleaning crew was supposedly coming in right at checkout. Paying guests should not have to empty the trash and recycling.

Hi Lisa,
We value transparency and share in our listing this is a basement apartment, which is very common in city dwellings. We are glad you were happy with the neighborhood, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and allowing us to host you, take care.
From the beginning until the end the listers were very receptive. The listing was precisely as described. Very clean!
Soap, cleaning products, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was provided There were even K cups for the Keurig which made my mornings better. WiFi was strong.
I chose to stay farther from the conference center (about 1mi) than my colleagues.
I walked a few times which was about 25 minutes and took an electric scooter the rest of the time. Both were great options.
Overall would definitely stay here again.

Hi Deborah, We are happy you enjoyed the space and would return. It was great to host you and we would be happy to welcome you back, take care.
There was communication from the check-in instructions, to the checkout process. The place is well maintain, eco-minded, and cozy. Questions were promptly answered, and had reached out to make sure everything was working properly or if we needed anything else. Be mindful of the parking signs, as there were two days we needed to have our car moved by 7:30 am to tree trimming. This was NOT the property managements fault, just wanting anyone parking their care to look at any signs. Parking near the unit was not difficult. We would book again if we come back to Washington DC.
