Excellent home away from home!

From the beginning of our contact with Aye, we felt at peace with our selection of "Comfort in the City" as a place to spend several days during a visit to our daughter in DC. Aye was an excellent communicator, both before and during our stay. She supplied us very useful information about local shopping and eating establishment. She went out of her way to make sure we had our parking permit, after I had forgotten to send her my vehicle information. By the way, we've had a number of trips to DC where we drove and had to deal with finding parking in residential areas. At "Comfort in the City", we had no problem finding parking, during our 5 night stay, on the same street or just around the corner (by the corner market). The apartment was very comfortable. There was abundant seating areas, a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table, and a very nice bedroom with a comfortable bed. We found the place to be very clean and well-stocked with the usual items needed for a stay like this. The easy, street-level access to the apartment was a wonderful surprise! The security of the place is excellent. The location is excellent and the neighborhood is great. It's conveniently located to take in the DC sights and happenings. On our walks and shopping, in the area, we encountered people who were very pleasant, helpful, friendly. Different than most large cities. We highly recommend staying at "Comfort in the City"! You will enjoy it! Frank R. Nashville Tennessee

Perfect for a Short Trip to DC

Comfort in the City was wonderful! We spent two full days in and around the National Mall. The apartment was cozy for 4 people, but it was clean and comfortable, and a cool respite after hot summer days. It had everything we needed and Aye was a terrific host, communicating promptly throughout.

Beyond my expectations!

All I can say is, wow! It was more than expected and then some. Check-in was easy. A big plus for me is that the entrance is at the front of the house compared to being in the rear or alley which is a plus when getting back late in the evening. Also, security lightning. Great location close to everything within 20 to 30 minutes especially Alexandria, VA. There’s a market a throw stone away which had the best egg and bacon croissant also they have bar which you can pregame for about an hour before heading out. Aye was great! Great instruction for an easy stay. Awesome shower, comfortable bed and the washer / dryer and ironing board / iron was a definite plus. Definitely lives up to its name, Comfort in the city! Will most definitely book again when back in DC!!

Stay here!!!

Ayo was the best host you could ask for in the city. She was extremely responsive and I had a lot of questions. The inside was very clean and well prepared for our visit. The neighborhood had some "sketchy" people, but we never had any issue!!! Also, the pink store to the right less than 800 ft away had some if the nicest people working there. The prices were very reasonable, too FYI. Overall, this was one of the better stays we have had and I would absolutely stay here again!

Long weekend in DC

This place was fantastic and perfect for our long weekend in DC. It was so clean and had everything we needed for our family of 4. The beds were comfy, there was plenty of space to move around, the full kitchen and washer/dryer put it over the top! Easy walk to restaurants and public transportation. We would stay here again!

Great vacation

Aye is amazing. This apartment is very cozy, well set up and comfortable. If you’re planning on using public transportation, you’ve got several bus routes close to you within a 5 minute walk. You have a small store that has some baguettes and pastries almost next door. Very yummy The apartment is equipped with everything you need. Aye makes sure of that. She is very accommodating and communicative and so easy to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you again Aye for everything!

Comfy and cozy

My husband and I came to visit family for birthday and a wedding anniversary celebration over a 5 day stay. I caught the subway which was a bit of walk with luggage but otherwise no problem. We rented a car and had no problems parking on an otherwise busy street. Only disappointment was a few items missing in the kitchen like a cutting board and something to make a salad in and food storage .. But our host was very accommodating and quickly responded to our wishes. Very comfortable and cozy

Truly Comfort in the City

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It was everything we needed and exactly as it was described in the post. It was quiet and cozy. The neighborhood is charming. There are a variety of eateries within walking distance. We found a charming market on the corner. We used Capitol Bike Share bikes to get around and there are several stations close to the apartment. Correspondence with the host was helpful and prompt. We definitely recommend the property. It truly was comfort in the city!

Perfect size for a 4-person weekend getaway!

Booking this property is a breeze, and the communication with the host is seamless. The only thing that had me initially concerned was the lack of pictures in the ad for the second queen-sized bed. Let me assure you, it’s there, it’s comfortable, and it’s separate from the other bedroom. The stay was from Friday to Monday for our family (29F, 38M, 52M, 51F) and nearly everything was conveniently placed in this small apartment. We hadn’t planned on spending a lot of time in the unit, but we enjoyed the time we spent here. There were basic amenities as well as some additional ones that were unexpected, like the laundry room amenities, which came in handy halfway through the trip. The cleanliness was on point, and the neighborhood wasn’t bad as far as noise goes (the occasional truck or siren in the city I would consider normal). Checking out was simple and easy as well! Just two locked doors and a heads up to the host. The property is close to the hospital, it’s about two blocks from the metro, and there’s a bus line just a block up the street. The public transport was all we used for our stay and we have some people in our party who have medical issues concerning getting around easy. We took it relatively slow and everything went well. The location’s neighborhood is getting fixed up nicely, and it’s the city, so expect to see some people on the street, but they were all kind to us. Only one small complaint to add here: the internet wasn’t consistent enough to use the TV or smaller streaming devices. Being in a brick building and having a repeater instead of a router made for really spotty internet. The owner was very responsive and quick about fixing what she could. Everything was understandable and didn’t affect my rating of this property. Overall, our experience was stellar. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a weekend getaway to DC for up to four adults. Huge thank you to the host for an amazing stay!

Wonderful Columbia Heights Weekend

The apartment was even nicer than the photos online. Met the local Market Store owner on the corner and a patron in the store.......wonderful people. The store patron walked us several blocks to a restaurant and filled us in on the area. Surprised by the hospitality and kindness in this neighborhood. Lastly, Aye was outstanding and in constant communication our entire stay! Highly recommend.

Excellent VRBO stay

We chose this VRBO because of it’s location near our son and daughter-in-law’s home. We were pleasantly surprised to find an immaculate, recently renovated space that met all of our needs. There was plenty of storage space, a tidy kitchen with necessities, and a washer and dryer. The bed was comfortable and the shower was luxurious! Another bonus was the front entry, much nicer than entering the property from a back alley (especially at night) It was very convenient for loading and unloading. It was a little more expensive than some nearby properties but well worth it! This was definitely one of the nicest places we have stayed!
