Great location
We arrived a little ahead of schedule, texted property manager and they stated we can get in then. Close to grocery store and target, and some fast food places (all walking distance). The parking garage they suggested that we use was very easy from start to finish (booking the dates and paying online to checking out with the booth at the garage).One thing the picture (description) doesn't state the den/bunk bed room it's in the queen bedroom upstairs.

The property was in a great location. Property owner allowed us to leave our luggage there before checkin which allowed us to spend most of the day sightseeing luggage free. Other than the kitchen, there wasn’t a room that allowed all of us to hang out. As we mainly just slept there, it worked out fine.

Great Trip To DC
We were so pleasantly surprised when we walked in at how cute it was. At first, we thought we accidentally booked a place with only 1 bedroom- but walk into the kitchen and look in the back corner and you will see the staircase that leads up to 2 bedrooms. It was perfect for my husband and I and our 11-year-old daughter. She loved having the upstairs to herself! (If you're tall be super careful going upstairs :-) The beds were so comfy- that I even asked where the pillows came from so we could buy some for our home. The location was perfect! Just a few minutes from the Columbia Heights Metro. Since it was so close- we really didn't spend too much extra time in the apartment since we were out exploring every day. We wish the weather was better so that we could use the back garden patio area but it rained our entire stay. If we go back to DC- we would definitely book here again.

Great place with the essentials. Right off the Metro and within walking distance of several grocery stores. We parked our car in the park lot recommended with no issues. The kitchen had everything to cook a meal. Also very affordable. If we go back, would stay there again.

Tucked in a quiet neighborhood, two blocks from the Metro station and large grocery store; two or three blocks from excellent dining, including Michelin-starred Makan. Ample room for a family in this 2-story, 2 full bath duplex with full-size W/D. Excellent communication with the owner and property manager. We did not go out at night in this area; Uber recommended as opposed to public transport if clubbing or out at a show. Overall, we strongly recommend and would stay here again!

Unconventional but nice for a family stay
The property was accurately listed and well run. The layout is odd - as others have mentioned, you enter the apartment through the main bedroom, which doubles as a living room - but this worked out just fine for us. (It might be a problem for a group whose members would be arriving and leaving at varying hours.) The interior condition and some of the furnishings are old but perfectly serviceable; shower areas in both bathrooms appear recently remodeled. Everything seemed quite clean except one blanket, which we could have quickly washed there if needed (good, recent model laundry machines are provided). When I had a question after arriving, the owners gave quick and helpful answers by text message, and offered in-person help if needed. The neighborhood is mixed, interesting, and generally attractive, and residents seem to have community pride. Lots of useful stores and interesting restaurants nearby. The only drawback we noticed was that (typically for a converted older building), air conditioning was less efficient upstairs than downstairs. There is a single standing fan for air circulation; we could have used another. Overall, we were glad we chose it rather than a hotel.

Easter in DC
we very much enjoyed our trip to Washington DC. There were 6 guests and the 13 year old 7th grader is so into history that this was THE trip of his young life. Our guest house was perfect and even though there were other guests, it was very private and secure. Everything was as described and the neighborhood was so cool . Great restaurants in walking distance. we highly recommend this location. Easy Metro access, safe and vibrant neighborhood. Very much enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to return

Gorgeous property & friendly property manager!
I booked this property for a bridal party weekend in DC. We were having an issue finding a property with 4 separate beds and decided to take chance. We were not disappointed. I was a little worried about parking but there’s plenty of 2 hour street parking to load/unload your luggage and the paid parking lot at Giant (less than block walk) was $30 for the entire weekend. The property itself is gorgeous! The beds were incredibly comfortable, even the bunkbeds. We weren’t able to enjoy the courtyard area due to rain but it’s well maintained and very private. I had the pleasure of meeting the property manager while we were checking out and she’s delightful! I will definitely be renting this property whenever I’m staying in DC. The process from beginning to end was incredibly easy due to constant communication from Lois, the property manager. Great location, great home and great management!

The picture that is shown in the ad is the entry hallway. As you open the door to the unit you walk right into a bedroom with a king bed. The unit was wonderful for the family, had everything we needed kitchen washer dryer 2 bathrooms and two bedrooms other than the king bed. You just have to remember it’s 100 year old building.

History and comfort
Lovely 100+ year old brownstone home, converted into several living areas. Ours was 2 story with bedrooms up and downstairs for part is our visit and then a flat in the basement for a couple of nights. It is a comfortable home. Well furnished and stocked. Not always quiet, but that was to be expected. The host/property manager was very responsive when we had a torrential downpour of rain which overran the gutters of the building and caused some water to come into the home. They were there quickly with equipment to clean up the water. We had used all the towels to staunch the flow and they brought us more. The neighborhood is safe and there were all kinds of choices for dining out. There was a supermarket close which was very nice. The metro was a short walk and we utilized it every day.
