I would like to start with saying that the space is absolutely beautiful! It was walkable for my kids and I to get to the places that we wanted to and we felt safe walking around. Andrea was super communicative and accommodating, the check-in and check out process was extremely easy, and I appreciated the kitchen amenities because I tend to cook while on vacation. My only complaint was at the " cute noises" started early in the morning (630-730) and they were quite loud. The excited toddler running feet are absolutely unavoidable with a toddler so I cannot fault them at all. However, we are not light sleepers and it was difficult for my children and I to sleep and feel restful in the morning. I feel bad saying this because Andrea was so kind in trying to make our situation better, but if I had seen a detailed review I would have chosen a different place to stay.
Only issue with the unit is the inability to control the temperature. There is no thermostat. The temperature is controlled by the owner. Had to message the owner several time to have her turn up the heat.
We loved this VRBO. So convenient, super super clean, great location. Even though it's a basement unit it doesn't feel like it at all. Everything is really new and comfy. Super responsive host and parking. Highly recommend!
Well maintained property close to a lot of eateries and proximity to museums. Our child loved the fact that a playground/water park was walking distance.
We really enjoyed staying in Andrea's apartment. The apartment was clean with everything we needed for our family of four with the two bedrooms and bath and a nice common area. We appreciated the kitchenette so we could prep and eat simple dinners at the apartment as well as breakfasts. There were multiple grocery stores within walking distance, and we also walked to a playground with a splash park. We appreciated being within walking distance of the National Mall but also having a nearby metro station if our kids weren't up for walking. Andrea was prompt in responding to all of our questions. Communication was great. The option of onsite parking was also good. We could sometimes hear movement upstairs as was described ahead of time, but it was not an issue for us. We would love to stay here again.
We had a great stay. Place is recently renovated and spotless.
Safe quiet neighborhood. restaurants and grocery nearby.
Large apartment. lots of room
One complaint I had was the mattress very hard. The owners gave me a Mattress Topper, and that made a HUGE difference... thank you!
Can park in their Garage, which is great, if a little tricky due to the narrow alleyway.
"Pitter-patter of little feet above you" is a really nice way to put it, but not the words I would have used. A couple of area rugs (thick ones) would be a smart investment for them, at least for a few years.
We were in DC for a business trip and this apartment was walking distance of less than a mile to the convention center. Great, quiet neighborhood. We walked everywhere- DuPont, Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, the Mall, etc etc. Shaw and Convention Center Metros nearby for further afield. The apartment is immaculately clean, bright, and spacious. Comfortable bed and furniture. Kitchen had everything we needed. WiFi strong. Andrea was an excellent host, prompt with communication. Highly recommended!
My wife and two girls ages 17 and 9 recently stayed 4 nights in this basement apartment. Itâs exactly as described by the owner.: new and clean.. The four of us stayed very comfortably. Bedrooms are on the smaller side with a great bathroom/shower and large living area/ kitchenette. The metro station is an approximate 10 minute walk. Itâs a bustling are with numerous shops and restaurants nearby. Never felt unsafe in this area, even when walking at night. The owner/ manager Andrea is very accommodating and willing to answer any questions. As stated in the description, you will hear the occasional pitter patter of toddler feet above, but it never bothered us in the least bit. Would not hesitate to book again!
This garden apartment was clean and well stocked. We appreciated the little touches like umbrellas and metro tickets provided. Andrea was a great communicator and friendly host. It was in a quiet neighborhood walkable to many fun areas and the mall. Thanks for a great place to stay.
Great place to stay with family while visiting the DC area. Beautiful street and a nice location. AC worked well, which was important since it was hot the week we were in DC. The Shaw-Howard Metro station is a short walk away. Whole Foods is also nearby which was helpful for breakfast food and snacks. The washer and dryer were very helpful for cleaning clothes after a few hot/humid days. Andrea and Fabio were very kind and friendly folks and we enjoyed getting to know them a bit. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Some tips
In the listing photos, there was a daybed of some kind that we expected to be able to use, but it was not there. If you have a group of four people, two will need to share a bed.
There isn't much insulation between this unit and the above main living space. This was fine for us since we use white noise while sleeping.
Andrea is a great host and this is located in a gem of a neighborhood. This was perfect for my family and it was easy to bike or use transit to get to the sites.
Really nice to find a cute, 2-Bedroom at such a great price in a convenient neighborhood. Walking distance to Metro bus, subway, restaurants, coffee, wine bar, grocery, etc. Super clean apartment and responsive owner.
Great location near plenty of restaurantsâŠlovely neighbourhood to walk around .. and we walked to mall .. about 30mins .. great spot ⊠plenty of space and would highly recommend
Our stay was excellent. The location is wonderful: leafy, quiet and several decent eateries within walking distance, while the trip down into downtown is only a few minutes by bus, metro or Uber. The apartment was a bit chilly on arrival but a quick text to the owner resulted in an immediate thermostat change. The shower isn't the most powerful but it's a spacious cubicle, hot and luxurious. Adequate storage, too, with comfortable beds and great facilities in general. Andrea was the most gracious and responsive host. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Just needed a place to a stay for a visit to DC with my daughter. The place was clean. The appliances we used worked well. The bedroom was comfortable enough. The kitchen was fine for the very basic breakfast prep we needed. The owner checked into make sure everything was going well. There are several good restaurants within a few blocks and coffee shop right around the corner. Would stay here again. Good value.
Wonderful, clean and cozy stay in vibrant neighborhood
Loved this property! It has everything you need to be comfortable but is clean and uncluttered. Host lives upstairs and is very responsive, although we didnât need/ask for anything. Neighborhood is a great mix of families, shops, quiet and bustle.
This beautiful apartment location was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed during our stay, and was a GREAT location. We spent a lot of time walking to the National Mall, Monuments, and White House, as well as walking to see the beautiful historic row houses in the neighborhood and exploring some great places to eat (such a trendy little neighborhood). There is a grocery store close by making it easy to stock up on a few items so we didn't have to dine out for every meal. This apartment is on 10th street and it terminates right in front of the National Museum of Natural History, which was convenient as this was one of our favorite stops! The hostess reached out to ensure we were comfortable and had no additional needs and she was quick to respond to any questions (and she was always helpful!).
We would give this stay ten stars if we could. We highly recommend it and will stay here again when we return, if it is available. Thank you all for such a wonderful and comfy place to rest after lots of walking and sightseeing! And thank you for making our trip even more memorable!
My family (two teen sons) visited for spring break. It was perfect! Beautiful, clean, very well lit space. Bathroom is lovely. Quiet and safe with everything you need in walking distance. Hosts are very accommodating and helpful. Parking with them makes life so easy! Hosts are immediately responsive. Location has easy access to the mall and everything DC has to offer! Highly recommend.
