Title: A Perfect Stay for Our Family!We recently stayed at this wonderful house and had an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how super clean and welcoming the property was. It provided the perfect home base for our family while we cheered on our children at the Marine Corps Marathon. The owners were incredibly responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Their hospitality made us feel valued and cared for, which enhanced our experience even more. The location couldn’t have been better — close to restaurants and conveniently near the metro, allowing us to explore the area with ease. We truly had a fantastic time and believe this house is a gem! We can’t wait to return for another visit. Highly recommend!

Great location, a few concerns

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The rooftop was really nice in the evening. A deeper cleaning of the place would go a long way and it had a bad smell upon arrival. A lot of trash in the bins when we arrived. Good communication with the host.

First off, the location of the rental is PRIME! And the rooftop deck was a huge plus! The rental has all new appliances. Having private parking was also amazing. We did have a few issues with the rental but I have to say that Kate and Zach were always very responsive and did all that they could to address the issues right away! Most of the issues were beyond their control and had to due with their cleaning service. We appreciate everything they did to address the issues to make our trip absolutely unforgettable!

The refrigerator ice machine part was not working nor was there ice inside the freezer part. I had to buy ice on my own. Other than that the house was very nice and homey feeling. The roof top was great and pleasant to be on with family and friends. The neighborhood wasn’t the best, there was trash and beer bottles in the alleys way near the house ( it’s not the owners fault for that) that gave it an uneasy feeling of security. There were police lights all night long across the way in building complex. We still had a great night, thank you.

Great spot for a family weekend

From start to finish, this place was great for our group. The home was exactly as described in the listing. A very clean and spacious house. There were only four of us, so we spread out. Walked to all our meals and enjoyed coffee and tv time in the house between tourist activities. Neighborhood street was quiet at night. We fit two small SUVs on the parking pad in the back and took the metro into do our sightseeing….lots of walking! Would recommend this space for anyone who wants a good, clean and comfortable spot for a trip in DC. Walking and the use of stairs is necessary so anyone with mobility issues may struggle here.

Perfect night getaway

We Booked this house for a quick one night getaway . 3 couples with not much time to hang at the house but could have been really fun with more time to hang out on that cute roof top! Plenty of space and seemed like a cute neighborhood to explore but again we didn’t have time. Would for sure book again.

We enjoyed the property

We really enjoyed the space. Everyone was comfortable. We came for our fathers memorial services. The only issue we had was parking. I thought it would have been a better parking situation due to us having 3 cars. It was more on me for not asking more about the parking. I did have to park my truck a street over. The neighborhood was quiet so i wasnt concerned about my truck being to far but i could still run up the hill and see it. The only advice is make sure not to leave your car in the same spot to long to avoid a ticket like i did. Overall it was a nice quiet area. We didnt get to enjoy the roof top as we would have liked due to the weather.
