Clean, nice stay; comfy bed

W enjoyed our time here. The bed was very comfortable and the place was clean and spacious. Kitchen was fully stocked. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Our one problem was that it was a little over a 10min walk to metro. Would stay again!

Beautiful and Accessible

Precious little too say about how this could be improved. The parking was easy, the entrance was easy. The accommodations were remarkable and the price was outstanding. The bus stop was about 150 feet away and the metro was a nice 10 minute walk. Life was good there!

Cozy

Well equipped for two. Easy to walk to restaurants in a clean tree lined gentrified neighborhood. No outside sitting. All was quiet upstairs by 9-30. Great time for seniors getting up for museums. Overall we were very satisfied.

Visit

I liked everything about the property except the noise from upstairs. The first night was very quiet, but on both weekend nights the conversation and laughter kept me awake, so I am uncertain if I would return. I visit my daughter often and because her home is so small, I often get a rental.

Classy basement apartment in Petworth

My wife and I were very pleased with the accommodations. The apartment is a nice size for two, includes a full, well stocked kitchen, living area and nice bed / full bath combo. Street parking appeared to be free and available although we didn't need it. There are great restaurants a short walk away. The metro is a 10-15 minute walk but through some areas where there are people wandering the streets at all hours. I wouldn't recommend making the trip in the dark. All in all, we would stay here again. Thanks Eugene!!

Cute

My son and i had a great 1st time in D.C. i was a little hesitate about staying in a basement apartment because i thought it would be weird but it was just like staying in any other apartment. I never seen the owners but had their number if we needed anything (we didnt). We had our own entrance. The appartment was cute and clean. I may have heard them for a MAX total of 15-20 minutes a day but i feel like they were very respectful of their noise and didnt bother us one bit. We live in G.A. my son (11yrs old) and i traveled alone and i felt a little more secure knowing there were people upstairs. The lyft drivers arrived within 10 minutes everytime. The neighborhood was nice. The man across the street even introduced himself to me lol. It is stated there isnt any smoking on the premise which i respected, i smoked in my car. Parking was never an issue and it was right in front of the house. 10/10 would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay, very vibrant neighborhood. Despite the gov shutdown we had lots to do. We visited for a wk and did plenty. The neighborhood is walkable. We walked to several restaurants, ice cream, and coffe shoppes. We also were only abt an 10 min walk to Abraham Lincoln Cottage, beautiful grounds.We were an hr and half away from an entrance to shenandoah national park (but Rock park creek which is literally around the corner from the property is also beautiful.We ventured out to Harpers Ferry WV (storybook town with historic significance of the civil war) We were able to hike on the Appalachian trail right from the town. The town also happens to be where the Potomac and shenandoah river converge.We then traveled to Gettysburg in PA also about 1hr and 15mins away. Even tho we could not enter any of the government buildings or many of the museums, we were able to go anytime on the grounds. We decided to go at night, the traffic was much less and the memorials at night are beautiful We left feeling very fulfilled despite the circumstances. The rental is also reasonably priced and communication was good. Please keep in mind the owners live up stairs so you will hear them occasionally. Also the neighbors dog barks quite a bit throughout the day but we weren't bothered by it much at all.

Second trip

This was our second time to stay here, and it was just as delightful as the first! We loved the closeness to the bus stop (which went straight to the Metro). The Metro is also about a 10 min walk away. The neighborhood is quiet but active-people walk around and it has a safe feeling to it. The hosts are super quiet upstairs and have made it easy for you to find your way around with guidebooks and a binder of tips!

Fine

Everything was clean. The air freshener smell was unfortunately strong. No bathmat; I felt bad leaving the floor wet after a shower. Silverware was strangely thin. I heard lots of the upstairs' daily and evening sounds through the ceiling. Mini-splits were terrific. Nice neighborhood. Thank you.

Best weekend trip to DC

Great location and great stay!! The welcome guide is so thoughtful and very helpful. I will admit when the owners first came down to do their laundry it scared me, but its outside of the unit. Parking was easy no issues. The unit is cute and quaint. If I could make a suggestion, maybe put an air purifier in the basement to mitigate the stuffy feeling when you first walk in. Other than that, it was awesome. Only about 20 mins from the airport and to the monuments! Great stay! Thank you so much again!!

Perfect walking neighborhood

We loved this location. My husband had some meeting s downtown and I worked from Vrbo during the day. Very safe walkable neighborhood. We enjoyed neighborhood restaurants and one night we did audio self tour of monuments with rented city bikes right outside Honeymoon chicken. Always got parking right out front house. Clean well appointed house but 2 people is really all it will fit. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great stay. Pretty much matches the description. Bed was comfortable. Water was hot. Kitchen accommodated all needs. Large bathroom. Literally the only complaint was the flies out front in the patio area. Didn’t bother me much but did my husband. We sat out there with music and a drink. Nice table area.

Espace propre et facilitant pour le transport

L’endroit est fort approprié pour visiter le centre ville de Washington DC. L’accès aux transports en communs à proximité est bien établi et le stationnement sur la rue est gratuit et disponible. L’endroit est propre et accueillant. Pour les princesses du sommeil, on entend les résidents du haut à partir de 6:00 et le lit grince un peu. La cuisine est bien équipée. Il y a deux airs climatisés muraux (une dans la chambre et une dans le salon). Le quartier est très paisible. Merci pour le séjour !!
