Perfect D.C. mini Getaway

Our family of four including 6th and 7th graders had a fabulous mini getaway to D.C. visiting memorial, Mt. Vernon and the Smithsonian museums. What made the stay extra nice was our accommodations at this property. The communication was topnotch with incredible resources, the property itself was superb, clean and a lovely retreat for tired feet. The pictures are accurate and the location was amazing near the government buildings and museums. We would stay here again!

A total oasis

My wife and two friends rented the apartment for a girls' weekend, and in their words: "It was quiet, close to everything, super clean, a total oasis. It felt like a boutique hotel with the comfort of home. Great amenities, great guide, well appointed."

Great location, great house, and a great host!

Even before booking, Andrew was incredibly helpful. Upon booking, he sent me a travel guide with all the pertinent information about the house, transportation, tourist spots, restaurants/bars, and activities going on in the area. I was really impressed -- I've never received anything like that before. My parents arrived a day before me and they are incredibly hard to please. They FaceTimed me to show me that the house was even better than the pictures on the Vrbo listing! So yes, it was a beautiful, quaint home. It's in a beautiful, quiet area that is within walking distance of many restaurants. (I highly, highly recommend Ethiopic and Sidamo Coffe!) It's also a ~25-minute walk or short metro ride to the National Mall. Overall, it was an incredible stay and Andrew was an incredible host. I would definitely recommend booking with him.

Amazing

We rated this property 5 stars. If they offered 10 stars we would have rated it10 stars. First, we need to give kudos to the host, Andrew. He was super helpful, very professional. He always answered our questions, he got back to us immediately and he even gave us information about DC and about the house that we didn't realize we needed to know...all so helpful. He has this house stocked with everything you could possibly need. He thought of everything to make sure his guests were comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked, spices, coffee, aluminum foil, olive oil, etc. etc. All the beds were comfortable. Lots of hot water when taking showers. The backyard patio was so quaint and adorable. The digital guidebook was a godsend. It explained every single thing we needed to know from arrival to departure. Priceless. The location CANNOT be beat. So many places within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You will not be disappointed if you stay at this home.

DC Weekend

The home is beautiful and in a perfect location. The house is large and accommodating. We were able to walk to The Mall and had lots of fantastic restaurants in the neighborhood. Would highly recommend this property. We needed an early check in to drop our bags and it was very easy to contact the owner who was very accommodating. Parking is also available outside the home

Perfect family base—easy walk to the Capitol & museums

We spent spring break here with our four kids and couldn’t have been happier. The house was spotless, exactly as pictured, and an easy stroll to the Capitol, Air & Space Museum, and plenty of other sights. Andrew’s communication was outstanding—he answered questions quickly and sent helpful tips about the neighborhood, transit, and the home itself. After long days exploring D.C., it was great to come back to such a comfortable place. We’d book again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Great space in a great location

This property fit our family of 5 very well. The location was wonderful for exploring DC - close enough to walk to many things and convenient to all the public transport options. We were able to find close parking and the door keypad entry was easy to use. The house had nice kitchen and bathroom amenities and even provided laundry detergent. The bedrooms and common spaces were comfortable. The electronic guidebook was helpful.

Due to COVID my son’s DC trip was canceled so we decided to go ourselves so he and his friend could still see some of the amazing sites. The home was in a great location and infact we loved walking to many places. If we took a uber they were very affordable also. Host was very responsive to any question we had!
