Very clean space, amazing location on a quiet street near lots of good restaurants. The host family lives above with children so it could be a little noisy in the morning for sensitive sleepers, but otherwise 10/10.

Pleasant lodging in Mount Pleasant

We were traveling for a conference and it was so nice to stay in a quiet neighborhood instead of near the convention center. The close proximity of the Metro made travel back and forth to my conference and around town very easy. Beautiful apartment! I always appreciate a well equipped kitchen. Overall, we had a great experience.

Great DC location

Pristinely clean apartment. Made extensive Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dishes. Kitchen was extremely well equipped for a rental property. Especially helpful were the heavy bottomed Emeril series pots and pans, as well as the 5 burner gas range and oven. Really appreciated all of that since we made a ton of food!

Girlfriends DC Adventure

My friend & I stayed 4 nights in this delightful hideaway. We each wanted our own bedroom & bathroom, so it worked out well. The unit is updated beautifully and has a full kitchen; pots, pans, dishes, silverware glassware etc. dishwasher, washer & dryer. Beds were comfy. Very quiet and walkable, friendly neighborhood with mini mart and restaurants a couple blocks away. I would definitely re t here again. Lara was great and responsive when I had a question. Street parking is hit or miss, but we hit it right every time!

DC Springbreak

The property was perfect for our family of 4 with separate bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a fully stocked kitchen and nice living room/dining room. It was two blocks to a main road with restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. 1/2 mile walk to the metro was very convenient. Parking was on the street and tough to find a spot depending on the time of day. Our only complaint was there was only one washcloth and towel per person so we had to do laundry every day so they were clean. Stackable units in the apt worked good though. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice place and location

Very clean cute well stocked basement apartment. Super great neighborhood, parking worked out, go to Purple Patch for dinner. Only negative was the upstairs family was so loud 7 am to 8 am every morning. The kids were jumping off furniture , furniture was scraping across floor and it was crazy loud up there. The floorboards were cracking at times. Not sure what room was above the master.

Graduation weekend

All good other than inability to get thermostat to raise the temperature. Was 68 when we arrived. Despite multiple attempts to reset the thermostat, could not get the “ measured” temp above 72. This actually felt like 65, and was a massive waste of energy. It was 96-98 outside, so I am happy it was too cold vs too hot. But needed to wear sweatshirts to keep warm. Otherwise a lovely place to stay.

Quick Trip

We made a last minute weekend trip since we had to pick up our daughter at the Dulles Airport on a Monday afternoon. This basement home was super cute, spacious, and clean. Very little noise from upstairs, but it was nice that the owner already mentioned that there might be some noise in the advertised listing so we knew to possibly expect it. Loved the complimentary coffee brand/flavor. Would have loved to have had some nearby restaurant recommendations. We went to Beau Thai and really enjoyed the food. We walked to the nearby metro both days to go into Washington. There are a lot of homeless people on Mt. Pleasant Street, along with a lot of restaurant patrons, so if you are uncomfortable with that you should take an Uber. Would definitely try to stay here again.

A nice comfortable flat in a transitional neighborhood.

We liked everything about the flat itself. It has been beautifully redone and is very comfortable with all of the amenities we would look for when traveling. I think if I had to pick again, I would likely have looked for a place closer to a Metro stop. I was thinking that it would be a quick Uber ride back and forth from our activities. But, with traffic, it was more like 20-25 minutes. We rode the Metro on a couple of occasions and it is easy to get around. But, we were a little uncomfortable with a stop that was a half mile away and walking through the neighborhood at night. We tried a local restaurant and it was really good. You can tell that this will be a great neighborhood in a couple of years.

Hi Kim, We are happy to hear that you felt comfortable in the home and enjoyed it along with the provided amenities for your convenience. The closest metro is a brief 10 minute walk, which we understand can seem short or long, subjective to individual preferences. We hope you were able to utilize our property guide which we sent to you prior to your reservation, where we outline the best modes of transportation in proximity to the home. Unfortunately, a caveat of city destinations is minor traffic delays, depending on the time of day, which is out of our control. Overall, we are glad that the metro provided you with an easier mode of transportation for getting around. It's also nice to hear that you enjoyed the neighborhood and it's restaurants as well. We look forward to hosting you again in the future, should you return to the city!
