Great Stay!

We had a great time staying at Kelly’s row house. We were there for our daughter’s graduation from Georgetown Law and this provided the perfect place for us to have a home base to come back to after a variety of events and doing a little sightseeing. Had everything we needed!

Wonderful!

We had a perfect stay in this charming row house. The location is great especially if you’re attending a convention- groceries and restaurants are nearby and everything is a short Uber or Metro ride away. Will definitely book again!

Good launching point

We had a great stay at the property. It has just enough of everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The bbq pit was a great benefit. It’s a little bit of a walk to the metro, but very doable. Grocery store is VERY convenient. Some steep stairs to get in, but we were able to haul luggage up and down ok.

Exactly what we wanted!

My sisters and I (all over 60 years old) found this wonderful place in the Shaw neighborhood to use as our home base in exploring Washington DC together. The place was clean with comfortable beds, a beautiful shower and Keurig coffee for breakfast. We bought SmarTrip metro passes as the green line Shaw-Howard stop was less than an 8 minute walk through a safe neighborhood, and we were able to explore all of DC affordably. There are some great ethnic restaurants nearby and a Trader Joe's within walking distance. Kelly was easy to work with and we had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

Great location and house!

We loved our weekend stay here! We were in town over a long weekend for a show and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There’s a grocery store nearby and it’s a short walk to the Metro. We also walked to the Mall from the house once, which at roughly 1.5 miles isn’t a short walk with a stroller, but it was definitely doable. Overall we thought the location was perfect for seeing the typical DC attractions, and the house was comfortable and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again if back in town.

Close to Convention Center

Host was wonderful with prompt communications. The home was clean and decorated nice. I especially appreciated the stocked mini coffee bar since my conference started at 6am daily. It is a 4 block walk to the convention center as well as the metro we used to sight see. Closest restaurant is 1 block away, but we usually walked 4-6 blocks to have more restaurant choices. Would definitely stay here again for my next conference!

DC Getaway

Super clean! So clean I felt like I could actually relax away from home. Close to two metro stations so easy to get around the city. Garage isn't too far and there is enough parking around the rowhouse you can drop your stuff there and then go park. Beds and linens super comfortable.

Great stay for a family vacation in DC

Great location, close to metro, close to grocery store, clean. We loved walking to the Mall, but the metro is only a few blocks and easy to access if needed. Lots of restaurants along the wall to the museums. There is a small city park that is across from the Giant grocery store and our kids enjoyed playing there one morning on our walk. The area is an urban neighborhood feel and my family of six enjoyed the feeling of being a part of the city life.

Excellent Stay

Absolutely as pictured. My family of 4 plus grandma spent a week touring the sights of DC. Clean and comfortable home, set up well for exactly what we were doing. Parking and Metro are about a 10 minute walk. Metro is super easy. We did a little Uber too ... Uber works really well in DC. Parking was $30 a day, so we parked and left it without problem. Great combination of affordable digs, super clean and easy to get around.

DC Trip

We took our grandson to DC as a high school graduation gift since he will be leaving for college soon. Everything about the house was just as described and the host was pleasant and easy to communicate with. The location was convenient but a little too far from many of the places we were visiting so we used a ride share quite a bit to get us to certain areas. The neighborhood is nice and you can tell that it is being revived. Although we certainly did not feel unsafe, we made sure we were not out after dark since we were totally unfamiliar with the area. I would definitely stay again!
