Walkable Ballston 2BR Near Metro + Parking spot

The location was the only good thing about this place. There’s plastic on the couches that sit very low to the floor and are difficult to get up from. This is like a college rental. The minute I walked in we could hear everything the upstairs neighbors were saying and doing, not even during a party, just walking and talking. My elderly father was with me who has a heart issue and needs sleep so I immediately messaged the property owner asking for a refund since we could not possibly stay there. He told me to cancel, the app wouldn’t let me. He then stopped communicating with me. We left within minutes and had to pay for a hotel. The property owner never helped with anything.

The whole place is covered in spiders and dust.

Great apartment. Very nicely set up and clean. Supplies of coffee and other disposables were great. Ice to have driveway parking. Would totally rent again. Only minor drawback was the sound from the upstairs people ( older house can’t totally control).

This is a great place within easy walking distance of anything you would need including the Metro station. It was very clean and has everything you will need for your stay. The host is SUPER responsive, quick, kind and helpful. It's a good thing, because neither VRBO nor Expedia communicated anything about arrival or leaving directions. I would highly recommend this for your next vacation .

The stay as a whole was generally good. The condo was as expected other than some fixtures hanging from the ceiling or off the wall, but we didn't have to interact with them directly so it was excusable. The main gripes with our stay was with the internet randomly turning off on our second night, and the water being turned off at 9:40am on the day of check-out. Wifi is excusable, we can just use data....but the water being turned off an hour and twenty before we are to check out at 11 is crazy! So much for washing dishes after breakfast and especially showering before we got on the road. It would have been so much better if we got a heads-up at least.

Amazing location! We enjoyer walking to a nearby doughnut shop. We slept really well also! The coffee maker was missing but thankfully we brought k cups. I would suggest more hooks for coats and updated living room furniture.

Kitchen was adequately equipped and the location is excellent. Furnishings are a bit dated but adequate but the bed was comfortable and the HVAC system handled the big swings in DC temps (30 degree swings during our April visit) very well keeping the apartment very comfortable. Host provided more than enough blankets. Apt could use a small dresser or some kind of shelving for clothes. In the bathroom water pressure was good and plenty of hot water.

A great property in close proximity to restaurants and the metro station. Clean. Very good shower. Big kitchen. Big TV. Great communications with host. Great neighborhood. I would stay here again. It was in close proximity by car to Georgetown University and the Georgetown Hospital We were in town for medical treatment. Pet friendly. We brought our dog.

We arrived at 3:45pm. Check-in was 3pm. Place was a mess. We had to change to be at an event. We had no time to wait for someone to come clean house. I called owner and told him we couldn’t stay and I wanted a refund. The contract had been breached. The place was not ready for us when promised. His response was, “You do what you need to do and I’ll do what I need to do.” So I asked, “Does that mean you’ll give me a refund?” And he hung up. We took pictures and I called VRBO and sent them the pics. They called him and he lied and said the place was clean. They sent him the pictures and somehow he is still able to not give me a refund. Very disappointing. The previous peoples’ food was still in the fridge, beds not made, towels on the floor, and the stench of whatever was cooked before. We were worried that someone might be coming back so we couldn’t leave out stuff. Bottom line is terrible experience and rude owner.

The apartment was clean, had a very large television, and the beds were comfortable. The location was excellent for a short walk to the Metro station for exploring DC. The only negative is that it’s an older home with 4 apartments, and we had people above us the final night of our stay, and you could hear ever step they took below where we were. If you’ve lived in an apartment or older home this probably won’t bother you…but if you’re sensitive to other noise this may not be the ideal place for you.

Overall the stay was great!! We stayed one night my only complaints would be that the place was supposed to be available at 3 and when we got there we wait 30 mins on cleaning lady to finsh couch wasn't comfortable at all for any of us but again we enjoyed our stay wasnt any issue checking in....

The area was nice and quiet and the apartment was neat and clean. My only concern was that parking is steep and a bit small for a larger vehicle. There were a few uncovered outlets and the kitchen light switch did not work properly. Other than that it was a nice stay with very comfy beds!

We were in town for a concert with our kiddos. This condo was perfect for us. Its in a beautiful neighborhood. Quiet and very comfortable. Also, perfectly located for easy access to DC with lots of restaurants, cafes and coffee shops within walking distance. Our host was very kind and responsive when I had questions regarding check-in. Would absolutely stay here again if we have the opportunity to return.

It was clean and well kept the only issues was the AC shut off during the night it got very warm in bedrooms, there could have been more bath towels for 3 adult's and one teenager.

House is in a good location. Wasn’t clean on arrival but was done shortly afterwards. Kitchen was good. Bathroom needs some fixing. Toilet needs some repair. Good overall.

It was clean and worked for us. There was a washer and dryer but it was in the basement and we needed quarters to use them. Overall it was a nice place. Small but we weren't there much besides to sleep and shower.

Biggest challenge was that we did not have key code to get it. Ceiling repair and mold issue in bathroom needs attention. Only one large towel per guest. No extra sheets for pull out sofa. Toaster broken.

This rental is the first floor of a two-story structure. It was ok. The good: The neighborhood feels safe. It's easy walking distance to restaurants and a Target that has groceries. It has two dedicated parking spots. It was clean. The not so good: Poor sound insulation from second floor. We could hear footsteps, the shower and loud conversations. Parking for a third vehicle during the weekdays is very limited in the neighborhood. There is patch of mold on the bathroom ceiling where the pipes above apparently leaked. And other little things like no washcloths, lack of toilet paper, burnt out light bulb, limited kitchen utensils and no dressers in the bedrooms. Bottom line: It's serviceable, but in my opinion, not worth what we paid for it.

This worked well enough. We were not there much and did not use many of the amenities, but it was as advertised. The beds were comfortable, but the couches were not. There was black mold in the bathroom ceiling and mildew on the bathtub floor that would need to be remediated before I could recommend it to anyone or use it again.

Overall the property was as described. The upstairs occupants were a bit noisy, moving furniture and just walking was heard quite loudly. The outside of the property and the bedrooms need to be upgraded. The den, kitchen and bathroom are nice. The main point of issue is the couch and loveseat. They may look new but they are extremely uncomfortable to the point we could not sit for long.
