Nice, private stay with clear instructions easy access. 30-45 minutes from downtown DC considering low speed limits traffic, but in walkable area with parks. Offstreet parking is definite plus. Guest house is smaller than it appears in pics, but very clean and has everything you might need despite its simplicity. Owner explained shower only has 15-20 minutes worth of hot water after we found out via a cold shower due to leaving the water running while prepping - reality is there's only 5-10 minutes worth of hot water before it begins to cool, so be aware. Seating in living space is adequate but not most comfortable, and TV in bedroom struggles to get signal. A cheap but pleasant stay that gets the job done!
My mom and I really enjoyed the place. Very clean and quiet space. Very centrally located near most of everything we needed. Will stay again when back in DC
Thank you
This is a very comfortable and convenient location to dining and major highways, we stayed here for 30 Days while waiting on our home to be finished and it did not disappoint, was more than enough space. Love all the special touches to ensure you have what you need. My wife loved the stove and oven for her kitchen away from home. We would definitely recommend this cozy location and would stay here again if need be. Thanks Maria for always being there for everything from checking in to minor request. We appreciate your attentive and prompt responses. Truly enjoyed our stay!
I loved staying at this guesthouse! The parking was off street and the place was easy to get to. It was separate from the main house so I had my own space and it was quiet. The house was decorated so cute and everything was clean. The Metro station is 5 minutes away and easy to get to. This will be my go-to place when I’m visiting DC again.
This was a wonderful surprise, one of the nicest places we've stayed. The property has parking off street. The space was perfectly clean, kitchen area spotless and well supplied, bathroom again spotless, new? Just very nice all around.
The house was clean and nice. Maria was very responsive and helpful. Location was an easy ride to DC. Would stay again for a similar trip without hesitation. Maybe could have used a fan for sleeping -- late-winter New Englanders aren't used to being so warm at night this time of year.
Very clean and modern. Easy check-in/out. Efficient kitchenette well-stocked for simple food prep. Everything we needed! No problems, comfortable stay.
Very clean, good communication, a little difficult to initially find (house numbers are very hard to see); very limited hot water (10 minute warm shower max).
The guesthouse was adorable. LOVE the decor! Clearly recently renovated with very nice and comfortable furniture. Kitchen was small but had everything you need to prepare a simple meal. Very clever tiny oven that included a toaster feature! Maria was an excellent host--very accommodating and very responsive.Excellent parking ( a real plus in an urban area). And while the property is on a main road, the guest house is well back and very quiet. Highly recommend!
The property had everything we needed, and Maria was extremely responsive when we had a power outage and subsequent wifi problems. It is walking distance to shopping and a number of restaurants, and there is very convenient EV charging nearby (Level 2 and fast charging). My only (small) complaint is that the bed squeaks badly--might work better for a single person until that is fixed.
The everything was fine except the bed. It was too small for 2 slightly taller than average adults to comfortably sleep in. The mattress was uncomfortable and the bed frame squeaked with minimal movement so that we woke each other up all night. Would strongly recommend upgrading the bed.
We stayed here for 2 weeks. We've stayed in a number of the converted basement units that are common in the area, and it was really nice to be above ground and have lots of light from the many windows.
The place was spotless and the host was very responsive. Furniture was comfortable, kitchen was well outfitted although the place isn't really suitable for doing any extensive cooking; the small 2-burner cooktop can't fit more than one large pan at once, and the under-counter oven isn't the most convenient way to make morning toast, but for making simple meals we had everything we needed. Other reviews mentioned issues with hot water, but we never ran out.
One downside is that you don't have the ability to control the AC yourself, so we always had to message the host whenever we needed the temperature adjusted, but she always responded quickly. The biggest downside for us was that there was an error in the listing, saying there was a queen bed when in fact it's just a double, and that's really too small for us. I think that's been corrected now.
The place is located on a busy large street, but this particular unit is set well back from the street so we weren't ever aware of road noise. There's shopping, restaurants, and a nice park nearby.
Wir haben D.C. für 5 Tage besucht und haben uns in der Ferienwohnung sehr wohlgefühlt. Alle Räume waren sauber und gut ausgestattet, sodass wir uns sehr gut selbst versorgen konnten. Das kleine Haus befindet sich hinter dem Haupthaus mit einem eigenen Zugang. Direkt davor auf der Straße gibt es eine Bushaltestelle, sodass man in maximal 1 h in D.C. ist. Die Gastgeberin hat sehr klar mit uns über die App kommuniziert und der Check-In war unkompliziert. Auf der selben Straße gibt es einen Supermarkt. Es war eine super Gelegenheit, den Vorort Silver Spring kennenzulernen und anstatt in einem Hotel, eine voll ausgestattete Küche zu haben. Wir kommen bei Gelegenheit gerne wieder!
