Great Washington DC VRBO

This spot was great for a small group of students and parents exploring Washington DC. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. The location was close to the Metro, which made it very convenient. Grateful that we were able to stay here.

Great place!

This place was great for my group of 11. It is fully stocked with all of the things you may need on your trip. We only stayed for a weekend, but would have loved to stay longer to take advantage of the patio, kitchen, etc.

Vacation DC

We had a rough start but host was very attentive to fix stove. The property was clean. The street is very busy and parking required attention due to permit parking and street cleaning.

Lovely stay in DC

We had a great time at this property! It was clean, comfortable, and within walking distance of many good restaurants. The kitchen was well-equipped and even had a few spices, coffee, etc. for use. Bonus: LOTS of bathrooms (4.5), so we never had to fight over them. Check in and check out were easy.— I definitely didn’t feel that we were asked to do too much. The hosts were responsive and kind. I’d highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Lovely spot

Lovely house for our large group. We did basic cooking and appreciated the proximity to Columbia Heights restaurants, bars etc. No bedroom had two beds so that was an error in description. But 5 bedrooms all usable and comfortable.

Comfortable DC Home

Check in was a tiny bit confusing because this address has an A unit and a B unit and they both have digital code locks on the door, but the unit is the A unit up the stairs to the front door.The home has plenty of room and plenty of bathrooms for a medium sized group, and was clean and well-stocked with dishes and glasses.The host was very attentive making sure everything was going alright.The property is a little bit of a walk from the nearest metro station but not a difficult walk, and we appreciated the exercise.Overall lovely experience, would stay at this home again if I were to find myself in DC.

Place was nice and clean except one of the upstairs bathrooms swelled of urine. The coffee was stale and the choices were terrible. Thanks for the ice though. The towels were adequate but not enough wash rags. Beds were comfortable but my brother needed a flatter pillow.also, it would be nice to have a full length mirror somewhere in the house
