10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Communication from the host was exceptional - we felt welcomed before we even reached the property. Proximity to King St was exactly what we hoped for - very convenient for public transportation, restaurants, shops, waterfront, etc. The property is very clean and the beds are super comfortable. We appreciated the standalone home in the midst of connected row houses - no noise from sharing walls with neighbors. The ability to obtain a street parking permit from the host was also a wonderful convenience. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is close to a busy street, but the noise didn't bother us at all. It is an eclectic historic property as others have noted - a bit cluttered, but we found it to be whimsical and added to the charm of the home/neighborhood. The historic nature of the home comes with some features that visitors may like to know ahead of time. The half bath is connected to the bedroom with the twin bed - if you are using both bedrooms, those sleeping in the queen bedroom may need to use the downstairs bathroom while the occupant of the other room is sleeping. The living room furniture is a gorgeous match to the historic home, but not as comfortable for extended lounging. If you're out sightseeing most of the time, that won't matter at all! It does feel a lot like a visit to grandma's house and we enjoyed it very much. We would definitely visit again - thank you for a wonderful stay!

We found the property to be quaint and very comfortable. We can see why some people say it is cluttered, but this adds to the harm of an older property, in our view. The property was well-stocked, clean, and the beds were comfortable. It was perfect for us (two occupants) for accommodation while visiting downtown DC each day.

Great location just two blocks to the restaurants and shops on King Street

Location to King St was excellent! Everything we needed was within walking distance. The Potomac was at the end of King street.
