Great stay!
Everything was as advertised and perfect. Super comfortable spot to stay for a week. Hosts were very communicative and helpful. Lots of little things like easy places to hang coats, clothes etc made it comfortable. Enjoyed the local restaurants and trails.

Excellent place to stay
The property was so much more than I was expecting. There are hiking trails close by and my internship was only a short walk away. The area has tons of restaurants and is located in an excellent spot with only a quick drive to Maryland or Virginia. Considering I was staying for an extended period of time, I felt welcome and I felt at home in this VRBO. It was quiet and I felt safe walking around in the neighborhood by myself, whether at night to pick up some takeout or during the day. I absolutely recommend this location and am so grateful I was able to stay here. My time in DC would not have been the same if it weren’t for this VRBO.

Awesome 4th of July week
The property was so well kept and in a perfect , convenient and beautiful location. I loved the neighborhood so nice, safe and friendly. It was just great for my runs and walks with my dog. There are beautiful running trails just across the street. And a nearby bike trail. The location is close to everything!! Walking distance to great coffee shops, groceries and restaurants. We had a car but sometimes took a quick Uber ride to the attractions. This was my kind of place. My husband, father in law and I had a very pleasant stay. Sunny and her husband Peter were so wonderful and welcoming hosts! made our stay so pleasant and enjoyable. Sunny, Thank you so much for inviting us to see the 4th fireworks with you and your family. The location on the key bridge in Georgetown was awesome!! We really appreciate All your recommendations/ideas of things to do in DC .
