Victoria enriched our trip to DC by recommending places and providing info. We got the insider tips. Her place is clean and well appointed. She had everything we needed and thought of everything. It was a great place to stay in DC. Train is on the corner, as is a full shopping center and chain and ethnic restaurants.

Our son got a job in DC and we needed a place to stay to help him transition into a Columbia Heights apartment. Victoria's place was PERFECT.... or should I say PURRRRFECT? She has some lovely pets that will also greet you, but the third floor is all yours (pet-free!). We hope to stay again very soon - when we visit our son. THANK YOU VICTORIA.

Our family found this rental to be perfect! From the airport, it was easy and inexpensive to take the Metro to the home. Everything you need is conveniently located. It’s a very short walk to the Metro, Target, CVS, grocery store, fast food and sit down restaurants! The rental was also very clean and comfortable. Victoria was extremely accommodating. We flew out late, and she held our bags for the day. She gave us great advice on getting around...as well as local places to go. We made so many great memories and will be back for sure in Victoria’s perfect home. 💕

This was my first time using VRBO and I was so pleased with the experience. Victoria was such an accommodating host and her accomidations are so perfect. The apartment is spotless and extremely comfortable. The location is ideal, easy to get to and from the airport from the metro (just a half block from the metro stop) as well as all the Mall and Museums. The neighborhood is so full of great food options and Victoria has lots of info for the first time visitor

Victoria was a very gracious host; making sure we had everything we needed, knew where we were going, and were comfortable. She even made sure to tell me about the street parking so I wouldn’t get a ticket during street cleaning. Her property is just down the street from the Metro and is close to food and shops; which was perfect when we were tired from a day of sight-seeing. We’re looking forward to staying with her again when we come back to DC for Part 2!

It was a bit pricy, but hey, it's Washington, DC. The locaton to get on the Metro was perfect, plus shopping and restaurants very close by. Victoria was pleasant and accommodating for all our needs. She just doesn't normally work with Expedica, so that delayed some of our confirmation communication.

The listing was as described. We stayed for 6 nights with our kids, ages 8 and 6. We could walk quickly to the Metro, Target, restaurants, etc. Our kids loved visiting Victoria's foster kittens! There is an indoor playground called Magic Ground above the Target which our kids enjoyed. The beds, pillows and linens were very comfortable; we slept great! Victoria was very helpful with any questions we had. We had a wonderful time on our trip and were thankful for such a great place to stay. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Victoria told me her place was convenient, but I didn't have a complete understanding. I took my 7 y/o grandson on vacation and we did not have one issue. This apt. Is close to shopping, METRO, and tons of great places to eat. (You must eat at The Heights...yummy!) The apt itself was very cozy, the bed was SO comfy. The kitchenette was well stocked with anything you might need. Victoria has gone out of her way to provide tons of traveler information. It was really wonderful to stay in her home ant not in a hotel. We have only beautiful memories than my grandson and I will never forget!

We loved our stay with Victoria! The location was excellent- very close to the Metro, shopping, and chain restaurants. It is also super close to the zoo. The apartment was perfect for our small family, cozy and clean! If we could, we would give Victoria all of the stars, not just 5! She gave us such great advice on where to eat (Meridian Pint was one of her great suggestions and we loved the atmosphere- open front windows in the heart of a great area perfect for people watching and a playground nearby for the kids to run some energy off) and which Metro stops put us close to the specific places we were going. Victoria has SmartTrip cards for guests and we felt that was a thoughtful touch for us out-of-towners; one less thing to worry about while traveling with kids. She also had a couple of coupons that we were able to use when we visited the Zoo so our girls were really excited to be able to ride the carousel for free! Victoria was so kind and welcoming to our family, we felt right at home. If we ever venture back to DC, we will definitely be staying with her again! (This review wouldn't be complete without mentioning Ginger and the kitties (who stay in their part of the house)- our whole family loved them and the kids loved giving Ginger her treats! Made this pet-loving family feel even more at home!!)

We had a great stay at Victoria's apartment over the Christmas holiday. It's in a perfect location for us- close to the metro, shopping, restaurants (and only 3 blocks from our daughter's place.) The apartment is really clean and spacious for a couple. My husband could get up early and be in the living area without disturbing me. We stocked the fridge with snack and breakfast items and used the coffee machine every morning. The bed is very comfortable and we didn't notice any street noise. Victoria was very helpful with advice about restaurants, transportation and sightseeing. There is a drawer full of information in the form of pamphlets and maps of interesting things to do in the area. We really enjoyed the Columbia Heights cultural heritage walk. We'll definitely stay again.

My wife and I stayed here with our three children. It was perfect for our situation. Our 3 kids stayed in the bedroom and my wife and I used the sofa bed in the living room. The apartment comes with an inflatable mattress, which worked fine for our kids. They rotated who used it and said it was fairly comfortable. The Columbus Heights Metro station is just a couple of minutes away by foot, making it very convenient. We went all over Washington from there. We left our car parked on the street, where it was safe. The apartment is situated on the 3rd floor; it's self-contained and includes a bedroom, a living room, and a full bathroom. The living room has a small but functional kitchenette including a sink, bar fridge, and microwave. It's also nicely furnished with an Ikea armchair and the most comfortable pull-out sofa bed I've ever used. I actually slept soundly on its mattress. Guests have access to the washer & dryer on the 2nd floor. Also, the living room has nice big windows that overlook the street below -- for those who enjoy watching a busy street with a lot of pedestrian traffic. The apartment is usually pretty quiet, although there was an occasional siren that sounded. The street on which the apartment is located is a route for ambulances. They shot by at least twice a day, day or night, while were were there. But it was no big deal. The neighbourhood is thriving with shops, boutiques, pharmacies, and restaurants. A large department store, Target, is just around the corner; you can walk to it within 5 minutes or less. It has a grocery section that includes fresh fruits and vegetables plus a beer and wine aisle. The parking is a bit iffy. You need to park on the street and spaces go quickly. But it's free. Just be careful to follow the parking instructions. The Parking 'Police' ticketted a few cars while we were staying there. Finally, the apartment was very clean, tidy, and well stocked with extra pillows and blankets.

A friend and I met in DC for a vacation, and Victoria's place was just right for us. We each had our own space, and could still spend time together without feeling like we were falling all over each other. The apartment is very clean and well-appointed. Victoria was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the area; she gave us great advice on transportation and sightseeing. The location is also fabulous - we started every morning at the Starbucks around the corner, and had dinner nearby a couple of times. It was very convenient having CVS, Chipotle, Target, Best Buy and many other stores and restaurants nearby. Even though you go through the house to get to the apartment, we were able to come and go as we wanted and never felt like we were inconveniencing Victoria. We had complete privacy. I highly recommend this as a clean, safe and friendly place to stay.

I went to Washington D.C for a meeting and I stayed at Victorias's place. The apartment in the third floor is really cozy, lovely, comfortable, and super clean. Despite the fact you have to enter to her house to go to the appartment, the third floor is complety private and also is very nice ti feel the warmth of a home when you came home at the end of the day. The metro station is just half block ahead and you have everything you need around the corner: restaurants, bars, Target, Marshall, Best buy, CVS, etc. Fully reccomended for every kind of trveler. Victoria is very friendly and helful person. Next time go to Victorias' place.

My family of 5 stayed with victoria this summer. We had everything we needed including a light beautiful apartment, washer and dryer with easy access, very close to metro station on the yellow/green line which was convenient to almost everything, just enough kitchen to prepare breakfasts or light meals, wifi which was very nice for our teenagers after a long day of sightseeing. There are lots of restaurants near the apartment as well as on the nearby metro stops. We didn't want for anything and it made a great "home base" for out time in DC. Thanks Victoria.

The owner help us a lot during our initial conversations. She provided us with good information about the location, which is really good, close to the metro and to a lot of shops and restaurants. The apartment was really nice and clean, comfortable for four adults (all family), we had everything we need. I used the sofa bed with my husband, for me it was comfortable. We loved our stay and we highly recommend it.
