Great mixture of nostalgia and modern amenities
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here! Very convenient location!
Pictures are an accurate representation of property. Nice neighborhood. Liked the historical feel of the property and location. Clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
I loved this place! The set up was perfect for us (3 bedrooms to accommodate 3 couples) You did have to walk through 1 bedroom to get to the other bedroom, but it was fine. Most importantly, it was very clean. And we really liked the neighborhood!
The house was a perfect location. Very easy to drive to the tourist attractions. We really liked having the private driveway and parking spot in the back. The only complaint we had is the back bedroom is extremely drafty and it was very cold in there. It appeared the heater in there did not work. We covered the drafty door with a blanket, which helped. We would definitely stay here again!
Spacious old remodeled house in vibrant neighborhood
House was clean, well lit, and had spacious rooms including a very large and well-equipped kitchen. The private parking spot accessible from the alley behind the house is very convenient but a bit tricky to pull into. The one issue in the kitchen was that there was no coffee pot, so had to be creative to make coffee. Location was close to groceries and restaurants and very convenient for getting anywhere in DC. There is a very nice remodeled bathroom off one of the bedrooms. The only other issue with the house is that water seems to leak from that bathroom into the ceiling of the living room.Overall this was a fantastic place to stay with just a few minor issues. We were there only two nights and so didn’t attempt to get these addressed.
The house is great. it was clean and pretty well stocked. 3 bathrooms worked out really well because there was 6 of us. Just a few things to watch out for: the stairs are wood and small so with the little ones make sure they have on slippers or socks with grippers on the bottom. There was not a cookie sheet, so we improvised. I was pleasantly surprised by the well-stocked selection of paper towels and toilet paper. There was enough laundry detergent to wash every day. I travel a lot with children, so I usually bring my own because some places are selective about the amount of these items they provide. There is a Walmart close by so you can have grocery items delivered easily: They don't provide plastic bags in DC so there will be charge for paper bags. We used Lyft services to travel back and forth to the tourist sites and museums: For a family of 6 it was about 11:00 to 15:00 per ride. The parking was rough as I was driving a very large SUV but I was able to get it into the very narrow entrance by pulling in my side mirrors in: it was a bit difficult to find the entrance to back part of the house because there is not a sign. the gate does not lock per the instructions but parking on the street was not an option because the website was down during my stay. the only negative was that the trash bins were full when we arrived, and I really wasn't sure where to roll the trash to. I did not see any neighbors with their trash cans out so we left the trash cans where they were.
Nice comfortable place for my family of seven. We were able to relax and have our own space. The neighborhood was convenient in relatively safe as well.
This was a great house that was nicely updated and comfortable for our family of 5. It was well stocked and convenient to local attractions. The bathrooms and kitchen were nicely updated while still maintaining the classic charm of the house and neighborhood. It was a short walk to restaurants, bars and convenience stores.
Charming apt, clean and comfortable for 6 adults. Well equipped kitchen, great location, quiet area but short walk to lively U street with clubs and restaurants. We had a great stay.
Host was very good, responsive. However, we had 3-4 maintenance issues while there that required his attention. He was quick to respond and very accommodating, but still: clogged drain; non-existent hot water in one bath; back gate (for car security) not working; etc. place should have been cleaner as well. Over-priced for condition and upkeep.
House was as expected based on the pictures, website, and previous reviews. It worked great for our group who was attending a conference at the convention center.
Stayed here while moving my daughter into her dorm at Howard. This was the perfect place. Easy to get to Howard (walking). Had all of the amenities we needed. Check in was easy. We had no issues at all.
The property is as listed and fully stocked with essentials. We are 50 and were able to easily walk to the Mall. Very pleasant neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We enjoyed Shaws Tavern and DCity Smokehouse as places to eat.
The two reasons I am rating 3 out of 5 are that most inside doors and door handles were broken or loose, and so was the shower. It did not produce hot water. We also had to buy toilet paper because we were not given enough for the stay. The location is terrific, there was plenty of living space, and it was clean. We also appreciated the additional blowup bed, because the sleeper sofa is in a tiny room and really doesn't work for 2 additional people.
