Historic Treasure | Walk to Metro + Zoo

Great location but parking difficult. Superhero reservation at colonial garage (10 minute walk) not recommended, no in and out. Well decorated. Nice showers. Kitchen and dining room cold.

Very Clean!

This property was clean, easy to use, and super well-located. I felt that everything that we needed was right there and provided.

We rented the home via VRBO, but the property is managed by a third party that runs it like a cheap motel rather than a welcoming home. The first sign of this was when we asked if there were extra pillows and towels and received an email that made us feel like we were being cross examined for asking what seemed like a normal request. The next day they sent the pillows but no towels. When I asked again they apologized and sent the towels a day later with some Prosecco and chocolate to compensate (hence the three star review instead of two) The listing claimed that the property had three bathrooms- one with a bathtub and two with showers. But there was only one full bathroom with a tub, one with a shower and another with just a toilet. I pointed this out but they made no attempt to adjust what they were charging despite the fact that their description (and what had lead us to rent the place) was wrong. The place was not cleaned properly- there were dust balls under the beds and radiators. Checkout time was one of the earliest I’ve seen at 10:30 AM. and they threaten you with extra charges if you are delayed. We have never stayed in a place where we felt so unwelcome. The house is in a lovely neighborhood, has an interesting collections of curios/artwork/books from various parts of the world that lends to the charm. - and is pretty convenient to access most points of interest. A better management company could probably make this work but for now I would not recommend.

Overall a lovely stay. Property was very clean, convenient, and the managers were prompt with help.

This home was an outstanding value. Rooms and beds were comfortable. Amenities were great. Perfect arrangement for a family. WiFi was great. If driving, recommend understanding the parking situation. It was a major issue for us. Parking is at a premium. Property owner will not allow the use of the garage onsite. Street parking is the only option and it is crowded and restricted. Uber or a long walk to the Metro is best option. Garages will give you a deal, but expect to pay an additional $80 to $120 for the week to garage a car without the in and out privileges plus the Uber costs to get back and forth. Best bet. Uber and Metro and leave the car behind if possible.

The property was very stylish, full of interring objects from around the world, yet still felt relaxed and comfortable. The property was very clean and well stocked. Out only issue was parking (we did not realize just how difficult DC parking was) but the owner had useful suggestions that made the experience less fraught. Neighbor was great and many restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Nice house, all essentials there. Floor lamp in living room needs replacing, on/ off knob broken off. Could use another indirect light source. Front upstairs bath needs a trash basket, bedrooms as well. Small issues, but important. Stay was delightful.

The house was so spacious and easy to live in and find everything. All the amenities were inlcuded and in great working condition. The house was spotless and comfortable. We really enjoyed the neighborhood and the walk to the zoo and lots of great restaurants! Gorgeous decor inside the house but the house was still VERY child friendly.
