Nice home, quiet neighborhood.

This is a well maintained home. The beds are comfortable. The windows let in a lot of natural light , which makes the home feel bright and open. The listing pictures are accurate. The area is quiet,, yet close to major thoroughfares.

Broadly speaking, with VRBO's I'm looking for one of two things. An amazing place to stay where I will spend lots of time and gain a lot of enjoyment from the stay itself, or a place I can sleep at night with little/no fear of getting knifed on the way to the things I'm really looking forward to doing on the trip. This was definitely the latter. The neighborhood is quiet. There is street parking, and I think we could have parked out back too if we wanted. No issues with neighbors.The home is easily within walking distance to the orange line if you're heading to touristy places like the mall. Walk via skybridge to Deanwood station. I recommend getting off at Capitol South station for the mall. That puts you at the far eastern edge. You can start with the supreme court and library of congress then just start heading west. Parking is a nightmare in this city. Stick to the trains if you can.The good: all the appliances work, the beds were very hard but strangely comfortable, the kitchen was actually well laid out with the island, and the neighborhood was very quiet.The bad: there was some kind of water damage that can be seen along baseboards, the floor was not level, the floorboards were warped to the point there were gaps in the floor, and the upstairs was very noisy to walk around on.I gave it five stars for being what it is. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay while you visit the capital, this is a good option.

Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing both the positives and areas for improvement. We’re glad you found the home quiet, convenient for getting around the city, and a good value for visiting DC. We also appreciate you pointing out the layout, appliances, and overall comfort of the stay. We also appreciate the feedback regarding the flooring and cosmetic wear. This is an older home, and while some character comes with that, we understand the importance of keeping everything as comfortable and well-presented as possible and will continue making improvements. Thanks again for staying with us and for the balanced review.

A Day Stay

While on vacation in VA, we decided to take the family to visit the National Mall for the day. After hanging out all day we arrived at the house before dark. For the most part the neighborhood was quiet. The backyard was not enclosed. This means if you’re standing or have your children playing in the backyard, understand that anyone can walk up without any restriction.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you had a nice day visiting the National Mall and found the neighborhood generally quiet. We appreciate your feedback regarding the backyard and understand how important privacy and safety are, especially for families. While the yard is open, we’ll explore options to improve that sense of security for future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Safe and comfortable

Communication with manager excellent. Accurate info & stayed in contact. We are 70+, have 6 lb chihuahua so safety of place, convenient parking and yard in back, long, narrow fenced 2 sides worked well for dog. Location close to wife's relative, 6 miles, so good location for us. Neighborhood felt safe, minimal traffic/noise. Place was clean, furnishings minimal but OK. Take these comments in context to our age and some health issues: - stairs to upper floor narrow & a good climb to get up to full bath. -no lamps, all lighting in ceilings so good have been better given our older eyes but sufficient. furniture in sitting area OK but no arms and not that comfortable. The most important answer, would we stay there again? Absolutely yes!

Ok, but lots of room for improvement

House was not located within the 4 streets listed on the website, but overall the neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. Walking distance to metro, which was very convenient. House had a musty smell and on our 4th day we had maggots all over the downstairs floor! The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived, or it may have been run, but there were still eggs stuck on the pans. Outside was overgrown, but someone came to mow the lawn during our stay. On that day we were quite upset when we arrived back from exploring the city and found someone had entered the inside of the property as there was dirt all over the floor and no communication from the host about anyone having access to the house.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your compliments on the neighborhood and proximity to the metro, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t as smooth as it should have been. First and foremost, I’d like to clarify that we take the privacy and security of our guests very seriously. We never enter our homes without providing proper notice to our guests, and the service team that attended to the lawn does not have access to the interior of the house. It’s possible there was some misunderstanding, but I will investigate this matter to ensure it does not happen again. Regarding the cleanliness issues, we sincerely apologize. We strive to keep our property in the best condition, and it’s disappointing to hear about the dishwasher and the condition of the house during your stay. Your comments about the musty smell and other cleanliness concerns have been noted, and we will take immediate action to address these. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more positive experience in the future.

Cute, photos a bit misleading

Apartment had basic necessities, but was lacking in some areas. There was laundry to finish from the cleaning crew when we checked in, the water in the shower was warm, not hot, barely enough to not freeze, the kitchen sink has a leak with a bowl under to catch the water, two microwaves no toaster, living room futon (the only furniture in the living room) and mattresses need to be replaced (very worn, very uncomfortable, very used, almost icky), the strobe light in the bathroom when the shower was running made it feel like a rave, when the light actually did come on. The neighborhood cats were pleasant enough and greeted us each morning. The neighborhood was quiet and close to the freeway, and we were there to see the city. The roof didn't leak, there was central air, and plenty of parking on the street right in front. The ice maker on the fridge worked, as well as the water dispenser. The price per night was within our budget, and we made the best out of it.

Charming Home with Great Accessibility, but Clunky Floors

The neighborhood is pretty cool and easily accessible to the metro and shopping centers. When it comes to the house, it is neat and clean. However, when we arrived, there was still unfinished laundry in the washer. As my OCD kicked in, I couldn’t help but finish it by putting it in the dryer, folding it, and placing it in a drawer.The mattress is extremely hard and uncomfortable to sleep on, and I woke up with a terrible headache in the morning.The most frustrating issue was the floor. It makes a loud, clunky noise whenever someone walks around the house. If you’re a light sleeper like me, it’s disturbing. While you’re upstairs in your room, you can clearly hear people walking downstairs. The landlord must address this issue with the flooring.Other than that, the house is perfectly cute.

We also appreciate your notes about the mattress and flooring. Comfort and rest are important, and we’ll take your comments into account as we plan future updates to improve the overall experience for our guests.

Poorly Represented

To begin, I submitted a request for an early check-in. However, when my grandchildren and I arrived, the host was still present and cleaning. The host claimed that I had not responded to the early check-in query, yet the payment had already been deducted from my account. Upon further review, the only email I received was a receipt of my purchase, with no question to be answered. Secondly, the condition of the house was not satisfactory. There were numerous holes and gaps in the floor, large enough to fit a flat hand, where it connects to the wall. Upon our arrival, there were still stained towels in the bathroom. The dressers in the bedrooms were not level and were wobbly. Additionally, the top drawer of the dresser in the room next to the bathroom was not attached and could be completely removed. Finally, the bathroom had significant issues. The water and lights in the bathroom seemed to be connected somehow. When the sink or shower was turned on, or the toilet was flushed, the light would dim, and it would return to normal when the sink or shower was turned off. For a place where I spent a considerable amount of money, this was not at all what I deserved.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay. Firstly, I’m sorry for any confusion regarding the early check-in. I truly regret that our communication wasn’t clearer and that your arrival didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Your payment should have been met with seamless service, and I will be investigating what went wrong with our communication process to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Regarding the condition of the home, I apologize that it did not meet your expectations. Your concerns about the floor, stained towels, and the issues with the dresser are completely valid. I take pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort, and it’s clear we fell short in this instance. I’ve already addressed these issues with our cleaning and maintenance teams to make sure they are rectified immediately. As for the issue with the bathroom lights, I understand how unsettling that must have been. I will have an electrician investigate this matter to resolve any electrical issues promptly. I want to assure you that your experience is not reflective of the standard we strive to provide. I would like to make it right by offering you a discount on a future stay, should you choose to give us another chance. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if there’s anything else I can do to assist. Thank you again for your feedback, and I sincerely hope you’ll consider staying with us again in the future.
