Everything you need

The communication with the host was fantastic from the very beginning, even when I had a couple changes in schedule. The basement apartment, While looking like your relatives Guest room, it has everything you need washer dryer, kitchen, and an extremely comfortable bed. The neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous and worth walking through and you can also walk to Starbucks and several restaurants and a smoothie store and CVS. Close to the metro this is a great place for someone to stay, who wants to get out and explore the city!

The property was comfortable and very convenient. It was well equipped and in a lovely neighborhood. The bathroom is very small, and a bit of a squeeze. The only problem we had with communication had nothing to do with the property, but with VRBO: Every time I clicked the place indicating "click here to go to "Access your rental" I got a message telling me the site was not working.

Cozy spot conveniently placed for travel

This room is small, but comfortable, and has all the basic necessities for a nice stay. Brita Filter, Kuerig machine, pots and pans, cups, plates, and bowls, are provided along with a Fridge, Microwave, stove, and oven. The bed is comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, making for nice sleep. the house is a 15-25 minute walk away from both the Tenleytown AU and Friendship Heights Metro stops, making travel to Maryland, Virginia, and Downtown DC relatively simple.

June in Washington

The place is in a nice residential area, a lot of trees, quiet, some parks around, walking distance to the metro station (15 minutes) or by bus. We parked the car in the street for 3 days, no problem. It is like a small studio, very clean, cozy, everything included. The host put small details that increase the feel at home of the place. We really like it. If we go back to Washington, we will try to rent there again.
