Nicely appointed apartment

This is a very nice place and we enjoyed it. It's in a lovely neighberhood and we felt safe. The accommodations were comfortable. There is no "living area" (couch, chair) but we didn't need that

Beautiful neighborhood

Immaculate and very well equipped, but rather dark - we didn’t realize it was a basement unit. The neighbourhood was beautiful and we felt very safe, but it's best not to bring a car as there was no street parking during the day . The metro was a 20 minute walk, and it was a 25 minute drive to visit the sites in the core of the city. Correspondence with VRBO was excellent, with questions answered without delay.

Excellent efficiency in G'town

A great, efficient, modern, convenient, well-located room/apartment. There's not a ton of living space beyond the kitchen and bedroom, but there's no wasted space either, and if you're vacationing in a city like D.C. it's unlikely you're needing a place to sit around all day. Has all the appointments one needs for a comfortable stay in a studio space, and is located within walking distance of restaurants, bars, etc., etc. Some VRBOs are a little *too* homey. Yes, it's nice to feel like home-away-from-home sometimes. This one is more upscale hotel-ish. The kitchen has all you'll need for basic meals - not making Thanksgiving dinner on one's trip to D.C. anyway, probably - and the shower-only bathroom is nicely renovated and modern-comfortable. Responsive management, and easy entry/check-in. Overall, if you're looking for a studio in a great location and at a good rate, you can't go wrong here. We'd stay again. Thanks, Travis.-
