Cozy home away from home
This property was easy to find, and just as beautiful in-person as it is in the pictures. The spacious living area is perfect for four adults, and has everything to make your stay both relaxing and cozy. We had wonderful communication with Hugh, who went the extra mile to provide excellent recommendations for activities, restaurants, and resources in the area. All in all, we had a fantastic experience!

Awesome stay
My friend and I booked a trip to D.C. to see the sights and get away for a few days. We booked this location based on the pictures, amenities, and location to the metro. The properly is exactly as stated. Hugh was a wonderful host. We strongly encourage anybody looking for a place to stay in the outer D.C. area to book this property. Warm beds, spacious rooms, friendly welcome, and a can't beat price.

Great Location, Beautiful Space
The hospitality & accommodations that my cousin and I enjoyed during a getaway weekend far exceeded expectations. We were thrilled to stay in such a lovely, clean, well-appointed space! Our host, Hugh, was a delight! He was incredibly welcoming and kind. He not only provided a valuable welcome packet, he graciously answered several questions and took time to make sure that we had all the comforts of home. I highly recommend this property to travelers visiting the Bethesda, MD area.

Kids' first time in DC
This was a fantastic place to unwind after miles on concrete in the National Mall and Museums. Hugh was fantastic and more than willing to help with anything that we had questions about. The kitchen appliances are in the walk-through closet area (very nicely laid out). Don't expect to cook for yourself, but with all the food options nearby, go try those! Worked well for yogurt/oatmeal for the kids before heading off on adventures. Very comfortable beds/linens. Easy to find and then get to/from during our stay. Loved the long list of restaurant/activity recommendations. Only not a good choice if you have significant trouble with stairs as it is a mother-in-law quarters set of rooms above the garage and you go up a short bit of stairs to get to the space. Would definitely stay there again next time we head to the DC area.

Very clean, safe neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed except a freezer, but Hugh let us use the one in the garage. Bed was comfortable, and it had a nice area to relax in the evening. It was a short walk to a bus stop, which took us right to the friendship heights metro station, which whisked us into Washington DC. One metro card got us on both the bus and train. We wondered if we were going to be too far away, but it was a quick trip. High was out of town during our stay, but was very responsive by text, and his housekeeper Elena took care of everything we needed. It was quiet and comfortable and a very nice stay.
