Beautiful home! My family really enjoyed staying here. The location was perfect for exploring Washington DC. We were able to find street parking nearby for our rental car. I really appreciated the special touches most vacation rentals do no provide like drinking water, shampoo and conditioner and well located charging outlets.

This home was absolutely perfect for us! My husband and I took our first family trip to DC with my 12-year old and my dog. The house was clean and provided plenty of space. It is in a wonderful location and we were able to walk to great restaurants, sights, and museums. The host was incredibly responsive while we were looking at the house and continued to check in after we arrived. The guidebook for the house was super helpful. I would highly recommend this home!

Thank you for choosing our Capitol Hill home during your stay Heather. I am pleased to read its cleanliness, comfort and location exceeded your expectations. Additionally, that you appreciated the communication and responsiveness before and during your stay. Thank you again. I look forward to your return.
Our family of four including 6th and 7th graders had a fabulous mini getaway to D.C. visiting memorial, Mt. Vernon and the Smithsonian museums. What made the stay extra nice was our accommodations at this property. The communication was topnotch with incredible resources, the property itself was superb, clean and a lovely retreat for tired feet. The pictures are accurate and the location was amazing near the government buildings and museums. We would stay here again!
The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the location was incredible for walking to everything we wanted to see. Andrew made the process seamless from booking to check-out.

I am pleased to see you really enjoyed the home’s central location and the spacious and secluded patio. Very much appreciate the 5-star review, as well. Looking forward to the next opportunity to host you and your family.
GREAT location and experience at this home.
The place was just as advertised, plus nice extras like coffee, spices, etc. Would stay again!
The only non five star rating is cleanliness - because some detail cleaning was missed before we arrived, and that is an easy fix in my opinion.
