DC Charm

Great historic home close to the subway. Plenty of grocery stores within a 30 minute walk. Lovely back patio for wine on a warm day. Plenty of coffee! Wine opener was missing and owner had one sent the same day. We don’t usually watch TV, but the World Series was on ( and we’re from LA) and we were unable to figure out how to use either TV.

Just OK

We’ve stayed in many excellent short-term rentals via VRBO that deserved five-star ratings. To be fair to those exceptional stays, we can only rate this one as “just okay.”•The property is located at the intersection of a major thoroughfare and a very busy street, resulting in constant and significant traffic noise. The front (larger) bedroom was particularly affected, making it difficult for us to sleep. If you require both bedrooms, earplugs are a must. Additionally, the property is situated along the ambulance route to a nearby hospital—on one evening alone, we counted nine sirens passing directly under the bedroom window.•The furnishings, cabinets, appliances, and cookware are of lower quality, giving the space a budget feel. The owners could greatly improve the experience by upgrading essentials, such as replacing the warped and scratched pans.•While the rental was generally clean, we were disappointed to find dirty pots and pans placed back in the cabinets upon arrival.That said, we did enjoy our stay in DC, as the location was convenient. Despite the issues mentioned, the property itself was acceptable, but it didn’t stand out compared to other rentals we’ve experienced.

Family holiday in DC

Good location to explore DC. House exactly as described, very well stocked kitchen, some welcome additions of fresh coffee and tea, and the decor and finishing touches in the house make it very homey. Host was friendly, clear communication and quick to respond.

Muy acogedor

Muy bonito lugar, solo la ubicación es algo concurrida, y cerca hay mucho vagabundo. Pero es de fácil llegar en metro o en carro, aunque el hecho de imprimir el permiso del parking, fue algo difícil porque no teníamos donde hacerlo, pienso que deberían dejar un trajeron ya impreso para solo colocarlo en el vehículo y al final dejarlo ahí mismo. La atención fue muy buena y puntual.
