This was a great house that was nicely updated and comfortable for our family of 5. It was well stocked and convenient to local attractions. The bathrooms and kitchen were nicely updated while still maintaining the classic charm of the house and neighborhood. It was a short walk to restaurants, bars and convenience stores.

Host was very good, responsive. However, we had 3-4 maintenance issues while there that required his attention. He was quick to respond and very accommodating, but still: clogged drain; non-existent hot water in one bath; back gate (for car security) not working; etc. place should have been cleaner as well. Over-priced for condition and upkeep.

So convenient

Stayed here while moving my daughter into her dorm at Howard. This was the perfect place. Easy to get to Howard (walking). Had all of the amenities we needed. Check in was easy. We had no issues at all.

Great location

The property is as listed and fully stocked with essentials. We are 50 and were able to easily walk to the Mall. Very pleasant neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We enjoyed Shaws Tavern and DCity Smokehouse as places to eat.

Weekend in DC

I loved this place! The set up was perfect for us (3 bedrooms to accommodate 3 couples) You did have to walk through 1 bedroom to get to the other bedroom, but it was fine. Most importantly, it was very clean. And we really liked the neighborhood!

Washington DC

We were able to have walking access to the Metro to head downtown. Even though it was an older home, the house was clean and had everything we needed.

The two reasons I am rating 3 out of 5 are that most inside doors and door handles were broken or loose, and so was the shower. It did not produce hot water. We also had to buy toilet paper because we were not given enough for the stay. The location is terrific, there was plenty of living space, and it was clean. We also appreciated the additional blowup bed, because the sleeper sofa is in a tiny room and really doesn't work for 2 additional people.

Family vacation to DC

We brought our large family to DC for a week of sightseeing. The house was perfect for our family of 7. The neighborhood was nice and metro access was only about a 10 minute walk away. Also, if you are into this type of thing, there is a bar about 2 blocks away called the Gold Clover. Go check it out

Cozy property with charm

The accommodations were great for a quick trip up to DC. The house is older and cozy. One surprise is that one of the bedrooms is inside another bedroom, so with a group of singles and a couple it made it a bit awkward to organize sleeping arrangements but we were able to work it out. Thank you for contributing to a great weekend.

Great family vacation

The house was a perfect location. Very easy to drive to the tourist attractions. We really liked having the private driveway and parking spot in the back. The only complaint we had is the back bedroom is extremely drafty and it was very cold in there. It appeared the heater in there did not work. We covered the drafty door with a blanket, which helped. We would definitely stay here again!
