10 / 10Outstanding·May 2019
I do not usually write reviews but wanted to say thank you for letting us rent your house last week. It's a beautiful house that lived up to the high expectations set by the photos and other reviews. The location was great as it was close to all the museums but felt like you were part of a neighbourhood. It was also great to have the space and access to a very well equipped kitchen. No complaints and will be recommending to anyone I know coming to Washington DC!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2018
We had a lovely 10 day holiday. The owner left lots of info for planning activities in and around DC plus starter cards for the Metro. It was great to have a full kitchen and laundry. My only annoyances were: 1) The tv did not receive local programming or if it did, we never figured out how to access it. 2) Closest large grocery store is 1 metro stop away but still easy to get to. 3) The street is quite busy and there is a fire house a block down the street. But generally the noise was no problem. Even so, these were minor issues and we would definitely stay here again.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2018
Very roomy house, well situated for the metro, and to go get incidentals.
Kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials plus more! The house has 1 and a half bathrooms, which is very handy when you have 4 people trying to get ready.
Master bedroom is quite large with plenty of light and mirrors. 2nd bedroom is smaller with 2 twin beds. My only suggestion would be to perhaps put some good quality pillow toppers on the beds, they were a little hard. We enjoyed the back outside patio, again plenty of seating and perfect for the first morning cup of coffee. Lovely home with lots interesting decorations from all over. Communicated with Suzanne, who was very attentive and cordial. Would book again.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2017
This unique two bedroom home is an easy walk to the metro on the red line and a great location if you are visiting Catholic University or want a quick connection to museums in DC. The house is comfortable, warm, and supplied well for all your needs. We cooked the entire time and had everything we needed. I'd give it 5 stars except for the beds which were satisfactory but not outstanding. The double bed in the master could be too small for some adults and I thought it was a bit hard. But for the price and location, I would easily stay here again. The house has so much natural light, which just adds to its charm. The owner/manager did a great job of staying in touch and were flexible and easy to work with. Thank you Rosie and Suzanne for making our Christmas stay with our family so fun!
