Awesome experience
I have traveled extensively and stayed in many properties. This was by far our best experience. The accommodations were very comfortable, very clean, and welcoming. The location is a 5 min walk to restaurants, cafes, and a wonderful farmers market on Saturday’s. The owner, Kelly greeted us to see if we needed any assistance during our stay, set up a parking pass which was wonderful, and was a wealth of local knowledge. We will definitely book again for future visits to DC!

Great location for a family visit to DC area
We really enjoyed our visit to DC – about a 10 minute walk to nearby Metro Station. Quite a few restaurants nearby. Was able to park on street nearby. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Beautiful spot. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Lots of other families nearby.

Good Location & Accommodating Host
Overall, I would recommend this property.
Pros: Convenient location from which to hop on the Metro, so no need to drive into downtown DC; well-furnished, stylish apartment; comfortable beds; well-stocked kitchen necessities; two bathrooms
Cons: Parking is a problem if you're driving in. Luckily, the host was kind enough to let us park in her garage because she happened to be away during the time we were there. It was mostly clean, but there were areas that needed a bit more elbow-grease. There were also open containers/food left in the fridge from previous guests.

Ideal apartment in Mt. Pleasant, DC
This apartment is in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, just steps away from many delicious restaurants, great coffee house (Elle) and ice cream (Mt. Desert), grocery stores, a Saturday farmer's market and an easy, 10 minute walk to the Metro's red line for easy access to all of DC.
The apartment is very comfortable and Kelly has stocked many supplies to use as needed, making the stay ideal.
This is an ideal place to stay when visiting DC!

Best Place!
We traveled for our first family trip to Washington DC. We so enjoyed ourselves! The location is fantastic: out of the city, but close enough to visit the museums and monuments for the day. We had no trouble getting to the metro and catching buses. And in the evening, we could walk a block and have a cocktail on the patio of numerous restaurants before shopping for our evening meal at the local market. Kelly was kind and helpful. She suggested activities and they were perfect! We loved our daily doggie visitors and sitting out back with coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. We hated to leave when our time was over.

Ideal D.C. apartment
Very nice apartment, clean, generously stocked with standard foods and amenities. Quiet and pretty neighborhood, exceedingly convenient to restaurants and local stores, 10 minute walk from either subway or zoo. You can hear the lions roar in the morning! Friendly, responsive hosts live upstairs; only met husband in passing. English basement with nice windows in bedrooms, and a wonderful little outdoor space perfect for morning coffee. Good internet and television. One bedroom is larger and has better ensuite than the other. Noise insulation is poor but hosts are VERY quiet. Overall, an excellent apartment in a wonderful neighborhood buzzing with a vibrant mix young people, immigrants, and families. It's fun to be there.

Convenient lodging at quaint neighborhood in DC
We had a wonderful 1-week stay at this place while visiting DC. Although this was a basement unit, it had its own entry way with separate kitchen and living spaces. The owner was very responsive to questions/requests; she lives with her family upstairs from the unit. Nearby very interesting local restaurants with international flavors. Convenient, easy walk to metro & bus stops. We also rented a car for 2 days to reach places that the metro doesn't go to. Overnight parking was not easy to find in the neighborhood but not impossible. Overall, we would highly recommend this rental for traveling families.

I spent the week with my husband and his parents. We were there to sight see mostly. About 10 minute walk to Metro. Excellent food and supplies even closer. Very clean and comfortable. It is in the basement, however the back daylights into a very nice covered patio. Kelly was great. We felt very safe and sound!

Beautiful Neighborhood
The space was perfect for our family. We booked this location for a day trip to the zoo. It was an easy walk to the zoo. The restaurants within walking distance were delicious. We were further away from the National Mall than I thought but it was easy to get a Lyft for 5. We had a great time. My mom loved the history book for the neighborhood on the bookshelf, nice touch! There were plenty of supplies from the owner in towels and blankets. Thank you so much for everything.

We loved the apartment! It was clean, comfortable, well stocked and in a lovely neighborhood. Everyone was so friendly.
We used public transportation and found it convenient and easy to navigate. Kelly is an excellent host who went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of.
We would stay again the next time we are in D.C.
