I had a wonderful stay! The host quickly responded to any questions I had, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The apartment was clean, cozy, and very easy to access with the door code. It had everything I needed for my stay, plus plenty of room and a convenient work desk station. Overall, a great experience—highly recommend!

I appreciated that apartment was clean and a great location for my stay! Great coffee shop, restaurants and pub within walking distance, with very easy access to public transportation. I enjoyed the comfort of the bed and pillows & the extra blankets available. I also very much appreciated that there was laundry soap provided for the washer. The sounds of a child and loud bangs coming from above were annoying at times, but did not spoil the stay. Hand soap and a trash can in the bathroom would be a great addition to this apartment. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Our host was quickly responsive to my questions and was willing to work with me about an early check-in. The location was good for connecting with buses and the metro. The bedroom was a bit tight, but we weren’t there enough for it to be an issue. We did think that the mattress was a bit too soft. Overall it was great for the price, and we would stay there again.

The property was beautiful, clean, well stocked to cook and do laundry. There were comfortable bed and sitting areas. The decorations were lovely. The location is excellent for visiting DC by bus. We experienced a persistent Marijuana odor that entered the bedroom and made that area very uncomfortable to use. Sometimes the odor was even stronger and more irritating than other times. When we arrived I informed our host that a previous guest may have been smoking in the unit because of the strong smoke odors. He said there was an air purifier in the room and he could bring another if needed. When we left the unit, we turned the air purifier up all the way. But when we were trying to sleep, we could only put it on at a lower level because of how loud the purifier is. At times we would wake up to a very strong, very, very irritating odor of Marijuana smoke entering the bedroom. It made us ill. This unit was listed as non-smoking. This is not an accurate representaion of the property and is a health and safety issue.

Anniversary getaway

My wife and I had a great time while on our vacation. The main concern was that parking was a bit of an issue, but manageable, but definitely research parking signs, etc. for D.C. Great price for the stay though.

Nice place - great host

Note the signs for street cleaning days before parking; we had no issue there. The address that popped up on the Maps site the day before was for the VRBO across the street, but Tambor got us straightened out. You may just want to check the address when you message ahead of time. The apartment is clean and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

We didn’t spend a lot of time inside, mainly to sleep but although it’s on a smaller side, I thought it was very fairly priced and the host was great!

1st time using vrbo

Be aware of the parking policies if you are taking/using a car-just get clarity on the days and how long you can park from the host.This was our first time ever using a vrbo and it was definitely a learning experience-it is not like a hotel where you can talk to someone immediately and get help.
