Perfection in every way

We stayed at this location for several days over Thanksgiving. Communication was fast, the location is perfect (2 blocks from the metro, and a Target, as well as several restaurants). Our group included 6 people, myself, my husband, our 2 teen/adult children, and my parents. There was enough room for us to have our own space. Would stay here again!

Spacious and Clean

Colin was quick to communicate and even allowed us to check in when the cleaners were done. The place is spacious and roomy for a large family. Street parking was easy with the parking passes. The location is close to the Columbia Heights metro stop so you can quickly get to the Smithsonian and DC attractions. we had a great visit!

Great location!

This property was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Just 2 blocks from the Green line, we didn’t need a car, and the walking was safe. Colin was great to work with and made the process extremely easy. The basement apartment included was a huge plus, as it gave the newlyweds their own space. Please consider this property for your next stay.

Expansive property for a big group

This place was perfect for my group of colleagues traveling for a conference. With the 4 queen bedrooms and 1 walk-through futon, there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen and living rooms were well-stocked with tea and toys for all ages. Checkin was seamless and Colin helped us make sure that the street parking worked well.

Washington DC sightseeing trip.

We were five women celebrating a mile stone birthday who came to explore Washington DC. The home was very close to the metro station that took us everywhere we wanted to go. It was also located in a family neighborhood that was within walking distance of many wonderful restaurants. The home was clean and well appointed, and the host was very responsive to all our needs.

We were a group of friends from all over the country returning to Washington for a college reunion. The house was very well appointed with plenty of room. The location was ideal with easy access to the metro. Colin, the owner , was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. You will not be disappointed !

Thanksgiving in DC

Beautiful, spacious property. Walked 2 blocks to the train station for an easy trip into Smithsonians, The Mall, D.C. Easy drive to zoo, Georgetown, Arlington Cemetery......great location. My husband and I plus our four grown children were quite comfortable in the space. Plenty of room to watch football, play games, make meals. Loved our time in DC!!!

Beautiful home in great DC neighborhood

We had a fabulous stay at Colin's place. It has everything you need and more! My family of food and coffee lovers were very pleased with the setup in the kitchen. I've stayed in many, many vacation rentals and this is the first one with a KitchenAid mixer and Cuisinart food processor. Also, the art and antiques in the townhome are lovely. The neighborhood has several good restaurants within walking distance. We had a car, but never had a problem finding parking on the same block as the house. This is a great place to stay and we'd definitely stay here again.

Perfect Vacation Home

This is a beautiful and spacious home. It is located within walking distance to a Metro Train Station and Metro bus stops. From the station, it is only a 15 minute ride to The Mall, as well as many museums and monuments. From Regan Airport, the home is a twenty minute ride on the subway and a ten minute walk. The owner of this vacation rental has provided generous and lovely amenities. He promptly responded to our questions and concerns. If you have plans to visit Washington DC and need a spacious home, I highly recommend this property I Columbia Heights.

Amazing house in DC

Hands down the best place I've stayed through VRBO! The location was exactly what we needed for easy access to DC and very close to Catholic, Howard, and American Universities. Great neighborhood and a quiet Brownstone house. The rooms were great and the basement apartment was an added bonus that suited our family perfectly! Colin was easy to reach and the process of renting with him through VRBO was seamless. The kitchen was easy to cook in for our whole family. 2 parking passes for vehicles, although you are dealing with DC parking, so be patient. We were always very close to the house. I wouldn't change a thing and look forward to coming back!

A Good Time!

This house was very impressive! The house provided enough space for my family to eat, talk, and play the four days we had together. The location of this home is in a great spot and around fun places. The owner(Colin) was very nice and attentive to me and my family. We learned some history behind the house which made our stay even more memorable. There was parking available but the moving of the cars for the two weekday's included in our stay was a little annoying. But I would not have picked a better home going this route. Thank You Colin, for opening your home to me and my family celebrating our 10th year Liz Kidz family reunion!

Great location and space

This house is in a great location near stores, restaurants, and subway station. Living rooms have comfortable furniture. Apartment (outside front entrance) downstairs nice for giving guests space. Parking available but be very careful about the rules. Despite trying to follow them, we got a ticket anyway for parking on the wrong side on Tuesday (apparently that rule only applies October through April or May). Be aware that the beds are not exactly as shown in the pictures but closer to what is listed not shown. Washer/dryer come in handy. Dryer vent kept falling off but Colin said he would get that fixed. Owner is very responsive to questions or concerns. Only recommendations...to maybe upgrade a mattress or two and no pizza cutter to be found. Overall, recommend this place for exploring DC. Great stay.
