    I was informed that the house would sleep up to 12 people, but it does not. Family of 8 with some of us on the floor. Good thing we brought a blow up mattress, yet everything else was superb.

    This property was in a great spot for access to the Metro, about a 10 minute walk in a safe area. Even coming home at night it felt safe. Some of the bedrooms are loud at night as it is on a main road, but that is to be expected for the walk ability to the Metro. The house was very clean and beds were extremely comfortable. The downstairs bathroom did have some peeling paint but bathroom was clean and plenty of towels and amenities were available. I would stay here again.

    Loved the space and convenience of this rental. Kitchen is small but we’ll stocked. Adjacent to a busy street, right off the highway, so there was some traffic noise but it didn’t keep us up at night. Nice to have the free parking. Easy check in and communication with the owners.

    When we began looking for properties for this trip, our priority was something within walking distance to a Metro station. It was an easy 14-minute walk to the nearest station. The home was also well-kept and had all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed our stay!

    This property was clean and although you had almost no yard and backside to a very busy street it was reasonably located. The house had an extremely small galley kitchen and first floor bathroom is a jack n Jill which was small. Being as old as it is, there is no electrical outlets in bathroom and one extension cord you use in kitchen for microwave and toaster. The twin beds in first floor bedroom hide the heat vents so it was cold in our bedroom. It’s a 20 min walk to closest metro station and about the same to decent food.

    We have a large-ish group on a family vacation. We had two kids who comfortably had their own rooms. The location is the best part! It is an older house so in the winter the heat/cold varied across the bedrooms as is pretty usual in the houses in the area but overall it was easily managed! Great communication with the host and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

    The house was perfect for what we needed. There was plenty of parking and the house was easy to find. Our questions were answered promptly. It was clean and had plenty of space for our group of 7. Kitchen is small but we didn’t cook much so it was not an issue. With 3 teenage girls, we had no issues with hot water for showers.

    There were plenty of rooms with comfortable beds to house our family, with a great living & dining area to gather together. A short walk to the Metro gave us access to everything we wanted to get to in the city. The kids enjoyed the park, which was a quick two-block walk away. The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed. Our host was responsive, check in and out was easy. If we’re ever in DC again, this will be our first choice!

    Our stay couldn’t have been more enjoyable! The warm and welcoming property was easy to find, and the check-in process was very easy. The property was well appointed, and had so many thoughtful details! We loved the large screen tvs in multiple rooms, the terrific A/C and the kitchen stocked with virtually everything we needed to prepare breakfasts and dinner for our large family. The property is very kid friendly, with lots of sleeping options. The neighborhood was convenient to shopping and restaurants, and felt very safe. Kelly, our host, was very responsive, and cheery! We’re very grateful to her for her hospitality and understanding. All in all, this house was the perfect perch from which our family enjoyed our Washington DC reunion.

    Almost everything was fine with the home. We felt safe. Communication with host was great. Plenty of towels and linens. Clean throughout. Maintained yard. The only problem which was huge for us: The kitchen was super small. It also housed the stacked washer and dryer. With a large family trying to cook meals in, it was not a good set up.
