Una joya inglesa en Bloomingdale, NW, a 9 cuadras de Union Station @ NOMA en línea roja

Good guests.

I’m so pleased you enjoyed the cleanliness of the property, the accuracy of the listing photos, and the convenient location. It was a pleasure hosting you.

Great and easy guests to host! It was a joy to receive them into my home.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was truly a pleasure hosting you both during your research visit to Washington, D.C. I am delighted that the home provided a comfortable and convenient base for your work at the Smithsonian and that you enjoyed the Bloomingdale neighborhood, nearby restaurants and easy access to public transportation. I’m especially pleased that I could assist with the visitor parking pass and help make your arrival and stay as smooth as possible. Guests like you who are respectful, communicative and appreciative make hosting genuinely rewarding. You are welcome back anytime and I would be honored to host you again whenever your travels bring you to Washington, DC. Wishing you continued success with your research and safe travels!

It was a pleasure to host Christian and guests. They took good care of my home! The place is just a basic set-up for sleeping. Pictures and narrative of the apartment are accurate at booking. Most of my guests do not dine-in. There’s a plethora of eateries and cafes in the neighborhood to enjoy!

Thanks for staying and being good guests!

Hosting Nicholas and wife was rewarding and easy! It was such a pleasure to host them at my home.

Steve thanks for staying at my humble abode. I enjoyed hosting you. Do come again! You are always welcome.

You’re always welcome! Thanks for being excellent guests.

This apartment does not include food of any sort, coffee, or snacks for the price paid. Christine was not charged extra for her 4th guest but charged the correct price for having four people. The price for 6 people are not the same for 4 people. It’s a basic, clean, and safe sleep in DC. The listing states to bring your own amenities above those that are offered. Christine’s claim that she had not been provided towels and blankets for 4 people is false. Sadly, she uses the review platform to further the falsehood. When Christine was informed where to look, she never confirmed receiving them. Not to mention there were 8 eyes (4 persons) inside of a two bedroom apartment that didn’t think to open closet doors, as stated in the instructions where to “find” the towels and blankets. However, they left the front door opened and the security gate wide opened when leaving out. Nor did they make any use with bathing and using the 4th towel that such a big fuss was made about. Out of the 5 available blankets they used two. It was evident that the towel set and blankets were found because pillows were used from the same place. Each guest’s arrival is planned accordingly and basic essentials are always provided.

Griffin and his guests were great and easy to host. What a pleasure!

Zephaniah B's review is concocted with full of untruths. He and his lovers stayed 4 nights at my place without complaint. After checkout, he writes a very negative and scathing review of the property claiming that he saw "illegal substance." Interestingly enough, of the 4 characters, none could identify incense. SMH! In their worldly experience, I assume they believed the substance was something that they may have before smoked illegally. Thus, believing my natural frankincense was drugs. Sadly, this "Zephaniah" shames the true biblical character. Thinking of characters, Zephaniah and his crew showed up in full regalia as cartoon characters of some sort. Imagine, 4 grown men with childish costumes at midday in DC??? They trashed my apartment and wet the bed. The bed had to be cleaned and sterilized. They broke my plate holder. Please note that Zephaniah B is not someone to be rented to in a private home setting. He and his kind needs only to book commercially at a hotel. Ignore his rant about homeless people and the issue of safety. Zephania is only in his feelings because he was charged for breaking my property and trashing the apartment with their merrymaking. The heartless statement about homeless people roaming around at night is also shameful. No one should be made fun of due to their economic status in society. As listed, my apartment does not come with pots and pans. So I am not sure why Zephania B would believe that magically they would appear available upon their arrival? Artesan water, Fiji brand was available for Zephania B and crew. Now he flips the narrative to state that the water was opened. Please take his review as a joke and have a hearty laugh! Ignore it and read the other very credible ones. Be far warned, Zephania came with lovers and they had an unathorized party at my home and trashed it upon departure. In the booking it stated, one child was traveling with the group. Untrue. It is all a scam to rent your home disguised as a "family," when they are not. Please note that I pride my home for being spotless, clean, and safe. Bloomingdale is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in DC. My apartment is located in a beautiful Victorian and on a very beautiful tree-lined block. I do all I can to please very deserving and grateful guests. I also hope you do not allow this faux review to deter you from staying with me. Thanks so much for taking time to reading this response to such ridiculousness.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you found the rooms clean and comfortable. The parking information, house rules and bicycle policy are all clearly outlined in both the listing description and the pre-arrival instructions sent before check-in. Guests are expected to review this information before arriving, as it is provided to help ensure a smooth stay. Because you did not advise me in advance that you would be bringing bicycles, I made an exception to accommodate your request upon arrival. Had I been notified beforehand, we could have addressed it in advance. I believe the information provided is clear and comprehensive and I don’t believe it is necessary to duplicate it in additional printed materials inside the home. Guests who review the information sent before arrival should have everything they need for a pleasant stay. Thank you again for your stay and I wish you all the best.

Garrett makes hosting easy and pleasant. He was an excellent guest at my home!

Ahhh…you’re the best! Jade my home is your home. Do come again!

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.” Sadly, from the outset of this booking, these guests were very problematic. They arrived my home seditiously to “storm the Capitol.” Looking for fault in everything, gleefully fault found them. Rest assured that my home is always cleaned immaculately. All linen are sanitized for each new guests’ arrival. Anna rating me poorly is predictable and vindictive. She communicated very poorly before, during, and after her stay and as a result poor consequences followed. Unfortunately, her car was stolen due to her negligence and not mine. Anna has found comfort in blaming me for her many DC misfortunes. Please ignore her rant and read more credible reviews.

Thanks for being excellent guests! It was a pleasure and honor to host you @my home!

David and Carolyn thanks for staying @my home. At your booking, my home was listed as not having a refrigerator. Sorry you missed the disclaimer. I’m now happy to report that a refrigerator is in the unit.
