About this condo rental

Nestled in District of Columbia, this lovely condo for $110 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. • The secured apartment is ground level and has all the necessities you may need for your stay. Coffee, teas and some basic breakfast items are provided in addition there are condiments and spices etc, if you prefer to prepare your own meals. While there is no dishwasher there are a full range of appliances both big (gas stove) and small including a rice cooker and a waffle maker, there is also a washer & dryer within the apt. • Yes, towels and bed linens are supplied, there is an Iron & iron board to make your outfit niftier and no apt is complete without a First Aid kit! There is also two hairdryers and a necessity for today’s world: WIFI! A recent addition is safety rails in the bathroom. • There is ample Washington related literature in the apt for guest to peruse. Kids are not forgotten as there are board games and toys for there entertainment. Sorry there is no Cable TV. • Weather permitting, there is a back patio and gas grill for my guest to relax and use, it also provides a relaxing area for smokers. • There is non- competitive street parking directly opposite the apt, I have been providing my guest with a “Temporary Visitor Parking Permit” courtesy DC Gov’t which has allowed them to park there for their entire visit without fear of being ticketed. • Grocery Shopping: There is a local Safeway about a 15 minute walk up Benning Rd, however as it is more convenient to shop at the Harris Teeters which is obliquely opposite the Potomac Ave Metro Station; 2 stops and 6 minutes away where there is also a large Safeway supermarket. There is also a Costco conveniently located at the Pentagon City Metro Station and yes I do have a shopping cart in the apt for bulk shopping. There is another Costco within driving distance (max 15 minutes), this one, to the joy of every Washingtonian sell alcohol! For those that prefer organic products there is the Sun Market and a Trader Joe’s plus an old style market (a must visit on weekends!) near the aptly named Eastern Market Metro Station and Whole Foods near Foggy Bottom Metro Station. • I recommend using the Metro while here in DC. The apt is very near to the Benning Rd Metro Station (0.13 mile/021km) which is served by both the Blue& Silver lines; All the major historical sites such as the Capitol Building, Library of Congress the many Smithsonian Museums and the White House are directly on the route of the Blue and Silver lines the exception being the National Zoo which is on the Red line. • Arlington Cemetery, the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport are all directly connected to the Blue Line route, while there is a shuttle bus linking the Silver line to Dulles Airport. DC is also a walking friendly city; it is small, with great leafy neighborhoods to explore, and a monument around each corner. • Other than the conveniently situated metro station (3 minutes walk max!) there is the 96/97 Bus line that plies East Capitol Street which is directly behind the apt, the 97 route takes you via the beautiful and historic Capitol Hill neighborhood(worth exploring) to the Folgers Shakespeare Library, Library of Congress (Jefferson building is a must see!) Supreme Court, the Capitol Building ending at Union Station. The 96 Bus also goes to the National Cathedral via Union Station and the trendy U St corridor. It is an inexpensive way of viewing DC’s interesting communities and landmarks. • The neighborhood is in transition (judge for yourself) other than the newly renovated Denney’s Restaurant, a 711 Convenience Store, the newly established Shrimp Boat Plaza and some takeout shops in the not too appealing Benning Plaza, there nothing needing exploration in the area. Yes it’s safe to walk from the metro station even late at night, the street is brightly lit and no, you will not encounter people idling on your route from the metro station to the apt, however If you are not comfortable sharing the pavement with people of color, my apt is not for you. Be advised; DC is a wonderful diverse city with an international flavor and 40% of the population being African American!

Convenient location for Metro access. Host provided plenty of info for public transportation, sight-seeing & grocery/restaurant options; also provided pasta on the first evening so I didn't need to venture out after driving all day. I appreciated being able to use the patio area.Thanks Wayne!

This flat has everything you need including washing machine, games, books and even a waffle maker. Furthermore Wayne provides lots of food and other essentials - no need to go shopping on your first day. Blue and silver lines depart just around the corner directly to airports and National Mall.

This place was as good as the reviews had promised. When we arrived later than planned on Saturday, the owner had frozen chicken in the freezer, fresh cookies, and other food available. Several times we found food dropped off at our door - muffins, apples, etc. The owner offered to pick up something for us if needed when my husband did not feel well. The beds were comfortable, so we slept great! We were about a 3 minute walk from the Metro, and two lines went through which made for frequent trains. There was no trouble parking right across the street from the apartment. The owner was quick to respond to any questions, and he had suggestions for activities when the weather did not cooperate. Knowing there was not a dishwasher, we brought plenty of disposable dishes which worked fine for our needs. We didn't use the tv at all as we were out exploring or using our various devices. There was plenty of space for our things and comfortable seating in the living room. We didn't use it much, but there was a nice little patio outside. I felt comfortable going on evening walks and could easily stay to lower traffic areas. We had a great time, enjoyed where we stayed, and will strongly consider staying here again when we visit DC some day. If you want to do a lot of cooking and not need to wash dishes by hand, then somewhere else would be better. Otherwise I would recommend this location!

Wayne went out of his way sharing information about DC before we arrived. When we arrived Wayne further explained the subway system and places to eat along with providing food for our first night. AC worked great, accommodations were comfortable. Location to access subway was perfect. Neighbors were friendly. I would recomend this VRBO. Thanks for your great hospitality Wayne

Our stay was pleasant and I might be willing to stay here again due to the pros listed below. I really struggled writing this review but felt it best to simply list observations and leave it at that. Pros: -Inexpensive -Close to Metro -Soft beds -Great host who was informative, communicative, and provided some food for when we arrived -Lots of things included such as umbrellas, sunscreen, spices, etc that are left over from previous renters -Fully stocked kitchen -Games in the closet -Sleeps 6 -Frozen food left over from previous renters was useful Cons: -It’s an old house/apartment and includes all of the things you would expect —The doors stick —needs a good painting —Tiny bathroom —Vinyl tile on ceiling in kitchen is falling down —Wood floors could use a good cleaning -Kitchen table is plywood covered in a table cloth —This wasn’t a problem but was unexpected when one of my kids leaned on the table and it tilted and looking at the photo of the dining area showing a glass top tells me a previous renter broke the glass and the host just hasn’t purchased a new one. -A lot of the things included really shouldn’t be left around once a renter leaves such as open toiletries and food. -Only contains 3 beds when you include the futon in the living room. -Only one tiny TV in the living room Overall we were happy with our stay.

We had an excellent stay in Wayne's first-floor apartment. First of all, Wayne is an outstanding host. Because our flight was delayed, we arrived quite late. Wayne was still there to meet us at the door. He was also concerned that we might be hungry after our delay, so he placed some extra groceries in the apartment. He gave us advice about where to eat, how to get around, and what to do in D.C. We greatly appreciated his help. The apartment had every amenity that we could have asked for. Every time I thought, "I wonder if there is a...," the answer was "Yes." Wayne had even stocked some breakfast essentials so we could get started with our touring right away the next morning without going out to search for something to eat. Finally, the location was super convenient. The apartment is two blocks from a blue-line and silver-line Metro station. Three stops down the line are a Trader Joes, a CVS, and some great restaurants. And the blue/silver lines take you to important attractions like many of the Smithsonian museums, the National Mall, and the Capital building. Thanks for everything, Wayne!

We enjoyed our stay. Wayne was available to meet us as we checked in. He was a great host. He had stocked the fridge. The apartment is as listed. We had 4 adults and had plenty of room to sit and relax when in the apartment. We did spend most days away. Just early mornings and evenings in the apartment. Parking was very easy always a spot for our rental car across the street.

Host was very friendly and provided fruit and other items for our arrival. Very accommodating when we needed to use a printer. Apartment is further from DC but close to metro so it was very convenient. Street does look a little scary but neighbors were nice, and we had absolutely no problems. We would definitely stay there again because we were able to cook some meals and park our vehicle for five days.
