Living room and eating area didn't really have enough space for four people. Really only 3 soft chairs and the table was crammed into the counter.Beds were pretty comfortable. Kitchen really well stocked. Lots of character.

Hi Beau, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value your perspective and will keep this in mind for a seamless guest experience. It was an overall pleasure to have the opportunity to host you!
The host company was very helpful with all of our questions. The back yard area definitely seems like it is being used by the upstairs renter. All of their stuff (half put together bike, a cooler, etc) was all over the back yard.The beds were comfortable and it was a great location.

Hi Kelly, We truly value your feedback, thanks for taking the time to share it with us. We're glad to hear you were comfortable in the space and with the location. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to have a future opportunity to welcome you back!
My wife and I have occasionally come to Washington DC to enjoy the museums, monuments and restaurants. Of all the places we have ever stayed, this one has absolutely been the best!So many of them around the mall, our basement apartments so the light in them is not great. This one was on a nice ground floor so it was easy to get in and out, but had full windows, even a bit of the front and backyard.The landlady here was an excellent communicator. She was generally back to me within an hour of any communication or question I sent, and I did send several. Most appreciated was the fact that she clearly went out of her way to include every possibility amenity she could too provide storage, desks, pillows, closet, space, hangers, extra blankets, extra pillows, etc.I often have a pet peeve when sinks have no room around them to set your toiletries, but that was no problem here. There is plenty of room in both bathrooms to set our toiletries.In our case, my wife and I rented this place just for the two of us. We generally slept in the master bedroom, which was quite comfortable and use the additional small room for laying out our suitcases, etc. That shed, this place would be just fine for three or even four people.One evening, I got up in the middle of the night and went into the living room where I fell asleep on the sofa. It was quite comfortable for sleeping and I slept there all night with nice fluffy blankets around me.Kudos and thanks to our landlords. Great trip!
