The hosts are extremely kind and very quick to respond. The apartment has everything you could need. My family stayed for a week and had a great time. It's a great location. Parking was never a problem. As others have mentioned, if you have someone with physical mobility issues, they will have trouble with the stairs. We would stay there again for sure.
This property was in the perfect location. It was an adorable minimalistic apartment that was just right for our family. The owners were very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.
We loved this stay! Beautiful and clean and well designed layout. We would love to stay here again for the awesome location too!The description is very accurate but I would emphasize that the steps to get up to the property are challenging and a bit steep. Also the movements of the family on the upper floor are easily heard through the ceiling. These were not deal breakers for us, and the owner has supplied ear plugs and a white noise machine in each bedroom. Owners are very responsive! Great find!
Return trip from last year. Cait and Ian are gracious hosts. The location is excellent the property is cozy, clean and very welcoming. Be sure and check out Haydee’s up the road for live music and great food. Great place to stay.
The space was perfect for us. It was clean and met expectations. It is in the other reviews, but definitely worth noting: 1) The steps could be challenging for the elderly or people with mobility issues. 2) You can definitely hear noise from upstairs (walking, talking, pets moving around) but white noise machines are provided and this wasn't a deal breaker for us. There was construction going on next door during our stay as well but that's obviously not the owners' fault. 3) I guess I didn't really pay attention when booking but those are full/double beds, not queens. Great for kids but maybe not great for 2 adults to share a bed. 4) The living room space and furniture are cute and minimalist, but not super comfy for a family hang. This really didn't affect us except for one night when we were all super tired from walking all day and just wanted to gather and watch a movie. Overall, the location, value, and condition of the place were good.
Great stay with our kids! The kid-friendly accommodations (including pack and play) and the proximity to the zoo were fantastic! The apartment was clean and easy to access.
We were totally impressed! This place is well furnished well lit, and well stocked With pots and pans and other cooking implements. The host are nearby, accessible, and ly. When we return to DC, we will stay here again
Beautiful modern garden apartment perfect for our family's trip to DC (with two kids ages 9 and 13). Just steps from the zoo, 20 min walk to metro, lovely landscaped terrace for morning coffee or sunset cocktail. Served as a great home base for our weeklong trip. Great food options nearby include Purple Patch, 2 Amys pizza, and Mount Desert Island ice cream.
What an adorable little apartment! Clean, comfortable and with everything we needed to make our stay convenient with two teens and a preteen. Love the neighborhood and proximity to the zoo and rock creek park. We drove into DC each day to explore and had no trouble with parking in the city or finding a spot in front of the apartment when we returned. Would definitely return in the future!
Cait and Ian are wonderful and provide a beautiful apartment. It is just as listed. My daughters loved the charm of the neighborhood and we were able to walk anywhere we needed. We loved our stay and hope to return next year. Thanks again
Caitlin was amazing to work with. Communications was spectacular. Property was exactly as described. Perfect location to the bus stop a little uphill walk to metro. My family and I take a DC trip every couple of years and will definitely be looking to stay here again!
The house was prefect, and the location was ideal for our trip to the zoo, within walking distance. I especially appreciated that the bedrooms were equipped with sound machines. Street parking with stairs up to the house. Host was helpful and informative.
Very clean. Great location. Great communication with Hosts.
