Perfect for our needs

Loved our stay at this property. The home was very clean and well maintained. The hostess was great to communicate with and went out of the way to help resolve minor issues that came up (ice maker not keeping up with 6 soda addicts). Good proximity to public transport - if the 0.7 mi walk to the Metro station is a little too far, we found it's pretty easy to catch a bus.

Amazing property and wonderful host

Our large family group stayed here for 4th of July week and it was one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at and after 15 years of booking homes that is saying a lot. The house was super clean and the location is great. Even the neighbors were lovely. I can not say enough nice things about this property and the communication with the host was great. Check in was seamless. I highly recommend this host and property!

DC Stay

Our family of 9 enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room to spread out and very clean! Walk to the metro was .7 mile. A little challenging of a walk, but once you figure out the bus system it takes you right to the metro. We felt relatively safe walking to and from the metro in our group. Place to park in back is very convenient for those with a car. Hosts responded to our questions very quickly and were super helpful. Super nice place to stay!
