My son lived in this for almost 2 months as he was an intern on Capitol Hill. He had no problems with the unit, and the landlord was very respectful of his privacy.

Nice.

First time in this neighborhood and feel like we found a hidden gem! Loved the location and the place was perfect for our three days. Lots to do and see in DC and this place was close to the action but in a family friendly neighborhood so no loud parties and wild bar scene. Great walking and access to the mall and metro system. Apartment was spotless and met all our needs. Will definitely look to rent this again!

This has been a difficult stay for me to review. While the location is outstanding and the unit is well appointed and maintained, it felt more hotel than VRBO. Very businesslike and not very homey and comfortable. Being awakened early in the morning by a gas powered leaf blower outside my bedroom window (it should not be that hard to coordinate yard work with guest stays) or, when in the bedroom hearing every footstep from the occupants above (which does confirm this is a 100 year old building) did not make the stay very restful. And the message is clear; stay here but don't get too comfortable. The kitchen at every VRBO I have ever stayed at (and there have been plenty) always has a cupboard of rotating spices and flavorings to encourage cooking. You use what is there, you add what is missing, and you leave the rest for the next guest. This kitchen did not even have any salt or pepper. There was one pouch of Costco coffee. And one soap pouch for the dishwasher. They do tell you this, but not until you receive your "Welcome" letter a few days before you arrive. Not when you book. So be prepared to go out and buy all of your essentials the minute you get there. For a week long stay, this either means an added expense or doing without. At least a hotel provides toiletries on a daily basis. And if you do leave anything for the next guest, the owners obviously remove it before you get there. The result is that you use the kitchen to keep cold beverages and snacks. You don't eat and you certainly don't do laundry. I have used basics left behind and contributed to this cycle for the next guest many times and was disappointed that this option is taken away here and most likely at all of the units run by this group. I respect they are running a business, but this was supposed to be Vacation Rental by Owner. That implies some comforts.
