The property was perfect and we enjoyed the stay.

The property is great. Very clean, comfortable and in a convenient location. The owner was awesome too. Easy to communicate with and even offered early checkin and late check out since the property wasn’t booked before or after us. He also went out of his way to assist me with what I thought was a parking ticket but ended up being a ticket for a missing registration sticker on my license plate.
We would definitely stay here again.

This was our first VRBO experience and it was great! The apartment is exactly as described: clean and private. Location is amazing- one block to Eastern Market Metro and a couple blocks to Barracks Row. Jim is a responsive and helpful host. Great stay!

We stayed 4 nights here with our family of 5. It was a wonderful stay!! The location is excellent, in one of the beautiful homes in Capitol Hill. The neighborhood is very walkable, and we found some great places to eat and a park for the kids to play in within just a few blocks. My husband likes to run, and from the location he was able to run to the Capitol, the White House, and the Washington Monument. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and was a welcoming place to come “home” to at the end of a busy day exploring. Jim was super easy to get a hold of, and responded immediately anytime we needed him. If we ever make it back to DC, I would definitely stay here again!!

Not clean, old pack n play, loud
My husband and I had our 6 month old daughter as well as my friend when we stayed. The property managers were very friendly and responded quickly to questions, including a question abput the price breakdown when there was some confusion on our part. The property got the job done, but we would not likely stay here again. After booking we asked if we could add another night to our stay and they accommodated us, stating that check in might be a little later than normal because they clean thoroughly between guests and like to have a whole day between guests to do so. That was fine with us, we definitely wanted a clean property. The sink, coffee table and counter surfaces were somewhat dirty (not filthy). There was a fabric shower curtain and there was mold along the bottom 6 inches of it. One of the bath towels smelled spoiled, like it had sit in the washer too long before being put in the dryer. There was a long hair on a different (clean smelling) bath towel. The extra set of sheets on the shelf for the sofa bed had a dryer sheet folded into it with hair wrapped around it. The sofa bed seemed old and greasy, the box springs seemed like it was falling apart, although it did air up and stayed that way for 3 nights. The water pressure in the shower was low. It seemed like it took quite a while to get hot water in bathroom or kitchen. The footsteps (children running possibly?) heard from the floor above seemed very loud and woke up my daughter in the beginning of her night and in the early morning. The pack n play seems old and worn out. The mattress pad has a lump in it and if you press down slightly the pad touches the floor. My daughter usually sleeps through the night, she woke up every 2 hrs for the first 2 nights. I finally put her in bed with me for the last night and she slept soundly. It may have just been a different location and bed, but I really wondered if she was just uncomfortable. The floor and doors squeak, I really wonder if it would even bother anyone that doesn't have a baby, but it woke her up multiple times. Our bed was fine. The keyless entry was nice, one less thing to worry about. Location is great.

Short getaway
This is the 2nd time staying at this sweet location! It is close to the Eastern Market Metro stop and has many restaurants close by, but on a lovely quiet street! You would never know you were in a busy 24/7 city! Apartment has all you need with a comfortable queen bed! It is very clean and communication with owner is easy! Pictures don’t do it justice!

Jim was quick with responses & very accommodating! Bed was comfortable. They have stocked the apartment with many things that you don’t get in others! They had coffee, tea, snacks, some drinks & amazing bath products! Easy walk to the metro or buses! Even though we didn’t need them, they have a parking pass & metro cards(you load money) for your use! We would stay here again!

Comfortable and Convenient
Love this basement apartment! It contains all that's needed for a comfortable stay in DC, including a heating and a/c unit that works beautifully. The owners provide plenty of amenities for the guests, including teabags, coffee, and plenty of alternate ways to prepare the beverage (I'm particularly fond of the French press). Furnishings provide all the comforts of home, and the bathroom has a wonderful shower and enough towels for an army. It's a 5-minute walk to the Metro stop and the bus line, and there are lots of local restaurants, a Trader Joe's and a Starbucks. This is my second time at this apartment, and I hope to return again in the future.

Great location with awesome amenities!
Clean, charming and comfortable on a beautiful street in a great location. The apartment was loaded with tons of goodies, snacks and any toiletries you could have forgotten. Bed and linens were comfortable and definitely felt like a home away from home. Location is perfect on a beautiful tree lined street, in a safe area of town one block from the Metro. Tons of great restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance as well as a Trader Joe’s. It was the perfect spot and we will definitely book again. Thanks!

On our next trip to DC, this apt will be our first choice for lodging
On our next trip to DC, this apt will be our first choice for lodging. The location couldn’t be better – one block to the Metro; only a few blocks to Eastern Market; and many great restaurants nearby. The hosts were very flexible and accommodating. Their communication with us was excellent and they were very responsive in quickly resolving a minor issue for us. The unit is well stocked with lots of extras and has thorough instructions for operating all included appliances. This has been one of our best VRBO experiences.

Wonderful Family Spot Convenient to Metro
My family had a wonderful experience staying here! Jim was great and answered all of our questions, being quick to respond. It is a short walk to Eastern Market Metro station, which makes it convenient to travel around town. I would definitely recommend this spot for small families or individuals traveling to DC.

A Gem in Capitol Hill
This accommodation is excellent. The living space has all you need including a well stocked kitchen area - fridge, washing machine, dryer and dish washer. The space is cool on the hot days we experienced and warm when the weather is a little wet.
The bed is comfortable and big enough to sprawl out, the amount of bedding was great. there is plenty of storage space for all your clothes and more.
The bathroom is well stocked with product and has a great shower and is also a very good size.
The area is great, there are nearby and plentiful food outlets, parks to sit in and interesting trails to follow. The Metro is very close and is a cheap and reliable way of getting around the city.
Washington is a great city, clean, friendly and with places to visit coming out of its ears. We recommend Georgetown, especially taking a boat trip on the Potomac.

It Felt like Home!
We truly enjoyed our stay in your apartment as soon as we opened the door it felt like home. A very relaxed feel and great sunlight for a garden level apartment. Location was ideal. A one block walk to the Eastern Market Metro Station and Trader Joe’s and dozens of restaurants and shops and a thirty minute metro ride to virtually anywhere else you might want to go. Thanks for a truly great stay.

Excellent for a family of 4 and perfect location
Our family was very pleased with our Washington DC vacation in this unit. The owners communication was outstanding and made sure that everything was set before we arrived.
Some Positives:
1. Eastern Market subway station can be seen from the front door-very convenient.
2. 0.7 miles to Capital Building--we walked or jogged to and around the mall everyday.
3. The unit was very clean and loved the complimentary goodies (sparking water, chocolate, granola bars, coffee, etc.). The owners showed great attention to detail by adding little extra things (soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, and goodies)
4. I have 2 daughters and was never concerned with safety when walking around the area even at night. There is a police station 1 block away.
5. Excellent selection of restaurants within 10 minutes of walking with many having kid friendly menus and atmospheres
6. I was worried about finding parking near the unit but had absolutely no problem when arriving. I would recommend arriving before even rush hour to insure a close spot; however you can always move it closer the next morning when folks go to work.
Some Negatives:
1. Though is was not a problem for us since we had planned to eat out for dinner, but be aware that there is no stove or oven.

Awesome space and great location!
My family spent spring break exploring DC and were thrilled when we arrived and entered this flat. It is laid out perfect with plenty of room and had everything we needed (2 teenage boys even approved). We are big coffee and tea drinkers so it was nice to have it available, and my teens really enjoyed the Kind Bars (I don't think I got one). The location, wow! Great neighborhood, one block from Metro which we used daily, short walk to restaurants galore, short walk down to navy yard and ball park area which has even more resaurants, you never need to drive, catch a cab or even uber. Another great thing for me was plenty of close by areas to safely run in the mornings. Thanks for a great spring break!

Cozy apartment in great location!
Spent 2 nights here with our 4 year old. This was a perfect location---so close to great food, parks, markets, grocery store (Trader Joes!) and the metro. The apartment itself is cozy and has all the right amenities. I also appreciated the accessibility of the owners and felt that if we ever needed anything, it was a text or call away.

Comfortable, clean, easy access to the metro and had everything we needed!
We stayed here for a long weekend in DC with our daughter. It was perfect for three people and we appreciated the convenience of being close to the metro and Capitol Hill. The owner, Jim, was very helpful with accommodating our needs. The apartment had everything we needed, was up to date, very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and we felt very safe walking in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Unit is exactly as advertised. Very cute and comfortable and light. The location is excellent. Lots of restaurants and markets nearby, walking distance to Capitol and archives and a block from metro. I'd stay here again for sure. There were four of us, my husband and two daughters. Snug, but we enjoyed our family time in the unit.
