Fantastic!
My first VRBO experience! Perfect for two Gen-X women from Chicago, would be great with husband and daughter, too. Easy parking in a great neighborhood with fantastic food & drink STEPS away. Apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable; bus to Smithsonian/Mall right around the corner made getting around easy-peasy. Owner responded immediately to question about TV. Will recommend to anyone traveling to D.C. and definitely stay again if available next time we're in town.

Great Location/Great Apartment
This apartment was clean, had plenty of room, and was well equipped as far as amenities. The neighborhood is great, laid back and quiet but things are happening around there as well. We spent 4 nights and would return and stay again, no doubt! We had very good communication with the host too.A great stay.

Great place to stay
This was a great place to stay for my short trip in D.C. Clean, comfortable, and close to great food options. Neighborhood was safe and easy to walk, but it was also a short Uber or metro ride to most things that would bring you to D.C. for vacation.

Great Stay in DC
My family of four visited from Iowa during spring break. We chose this location because of its price, amenities, and location to the Metro. It did not disappoint!
It's a 10-minute walk to the Columbia Heights Metro (green/yellow lines). The neighborhood is vibrant and busy; there were lots of people out walking their dogs and running. There were three grocery stores nearby, and with the kitchen it was easy to make dinner. However, there were also lots of restaurants nearby if we wanted to eat out.
Overall, a great experience. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!

Great location for business trip
We stayed at this Vrbo rather than paying for a pricey hotel room while in DC for a three-day conference. It’s a great central location and we were far more comfortable with so much extra space than what we would have had in a dinky hotel room!

Great stay
Had a great stay. The property was in a great location (10 minute walk to metro station) and had a lot of local restaurants a black away. We took the metro each day to the National Mall and this served as a great home away from home. Property was as described and could tell was thoroughly cleanwd before our arrival.

Awesome location, great vacation!
If I could give more stars I would - everything was exactly as advertised. Check-in was simple, access to Metro was a quick walk (we had two kids in tow ages 10 & 14), 4 stops to the archives metro stop (quick walk to the mall and all landmarks). Thank you so much! This was a great place to wrap and already recommended to friends/family we know are planning trips.

Perfect
Exactly as promised: clean, fresh, thoughtfully furnished. Four blocks to Metro, 30 minute walk to the Zoo, numerous independent shops, restaurants, bars within a few blocks( and Target if you also forget your toothbrush) yet a quiet residential street. Host was graciously helpful with DC parking permit on a holiday. Would definitely book again.
