The angle the pictures are taken at for the living room make it look much bigger than it is, but it was more than sufficient for our needs. There were a couple things that could be improved that I will message the host about, but nothing that would keep me from staying there again, should we ever get a group to go back to DC.

We had a group of students and parents stay in the home for 4 days. The home was large, clean, comfortable, and very well stocked! The neighborhood is charming, and we felt very safe walking to the metro, grocery store, and walking trail. We used the walking trail to get to the National Mall most days. The kitchen was the best set up we have found in 10 years of taking a small group of 8th-graders on their 8th-grade trip. The home is a great value for the price!

Overall the place was very nice and convenient for our group of 6 adults. We particularly enjoyed the front porch and terrace/yard area. TV in the common area was small for the space but we weren't there to watch TV. The only discrepancy to note is that the listing says 11AM check out and a 10AM check out was communicated everywhere else. Surrounding area felt safe.

Centrally located wonderful vacation home!

We were a group of 4 families with a mix of kids ranging from 5-12yrs and adults. The Home was very clean upon arrival and well stocked with everything needed for our stay. Communicating with Trina through the App was very easy and she also provided her cellphone to contact her with any issues. The location was perfect for visiting the national mall and museums. We couldn't be happier. Would certainly recommend for a large group to family and friends.

Trina provided all the information we needed for a smooth check-in and made sure we felt at home throughout our stay.The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. You can tell the host puts a lot of care into maintaining the space and making guests feel welcome. They even added thoughtful touches that made our trip extra special.We couldn’t have asked for a better host and would happily stay here again.

Perfect family vacation stay

The house was perfectly located a short walk from the metro. We easily got to all the monuments and our tours. There were plenty of seats for our group of ten to relax at night. Beds were comfortable. Extra of everything like blankets, towels and toilet paper. Would have liked the extra touch of a water jug for the kerig machine. Other than that it was perfect!

Memorial Day weekend

We had a great stay, it was myself and my husband plus our 3 kids (12,12,14) and it was a perfect place to stay. Everyone had their own beds and rooms, the neighborhood was quiet, we made friends with the awesome employees at the Union Market and it was a simple 10 minute walk to the metro. Highly recommend if your staying in DC with your family and you plan on exploring.

Long Weekend Family Meetup

Good property for a long weekend meetup with family. Location was good; about a 10-15 minute walk from the Metro, grocery stores, and restaurants. Kitchen was simplistic and functional and we made do with what was available. Bedrooms were good and included necessary items. Bathrooms were also functional but only included the bare minimum such as 1 bottle of shampoo and very few towels. Laundry was available, but was communicated at check-in that it was pay-per-load which was a bit disappointing.Overall a decent VRBO that with a bit of TLC could be outstanding.

First time VRBO renter, did not disappoint.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive and very helpful. The location is within 10-15 minutes of the Red line metro stop. There are buses that will take you to the metro if needed, but since we were going to be walking many miles each day visiting the Mall and monuments, etc. it was not a bother. The house was clean and well furnished with plenty of room for everyone to relax after a long day of walking and seeing the sights. Two of the bedrooms have bathrooms in them and there is another full bath for the other two rooms to share and a half bath. We would definitely rate this high on our list of places to stay again if it’s available the next time we visit D.C.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image

Hello, I’m Trina—welcome to the Heart of Eckington in Washington, DC!
I’m an easy-going host who truly enjoys meeting new people and making guests feel at home. I love traveling, dancing, and tackling new home improvement projects, but nothing matters more to me than quality time with family and friends. Having stayed in many hotels and Airbnb homes around the world, I understand what makes a great stay. I look forward to extending that same level of comfort, care, and hospitality to you during your visit.

Why they chose this property

This home is incredibly special to me. It’s my first home in DC! for over 2 decades.

Now that my children are grown and on their own, we like to share the Joy of our home with you and others that want that homey feeling, while away exploring new states and cities or even a new Country.

This home is a place for you to retreat, relax, reset and rejuvenate, to explore some more.

Thank you,
For taking the time to consider
The Heart of Eckington.
Enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

I love the neighborhood:
Being a resident of Eckington for over 2 decades, I have seen this neighborhood evolve from mediocre to exceptional. 
Scenically, demographically, culturally, and recreationally for the good of all.
This is a very friendly and safe neighborhood with a strong sense of community.
Within the community is the scenic Metropolitan Branch Trail, with stimulating murals to capture one’s imagination, while walking or biking, bicycle rentals are nearby.

Alethia Tanner Park, with children in mind a playground, picnic tables and green grass for movie nights on the lawn, nearby restaurants, sports facility, recreation center, swimming pool, grocery stores, strip mall, bus stops, metro stations, and more, all within walking distance. 

Eckington is central to many of downtown DC’s famous attractions, The United States Capital, The White House, to name a few, and just minutes away from Maryland and Virginia.
