NESTLED IN PRIME CAPITOL HILL LOCATION - STEPS AWAY TO EVERYTHING!

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was great, clean, and all ready for us. It's so close to everything and it was great to be able to walk everywhere we needed to go. Having the parking pass was a great plus also. The outside space was beautiful and was great to drink your morning coffee at. Nick the doggo was super sweet also, we were so happy we got to see him."

Spacious DC Getaway • Modern Comfort • Walk-In Shower • Near Metro

10/10 Excellent

"Andre’ was very nice! The home has some stunning features and in a quiet neighborhood. Pros:Pet friendly, beautiful artwork in the home, very nice furniture throughout the home. We felt safe with our little family and dog walking in the neighborhood. There is very little grass at this property, but plenty of sidewalks to walk dogs with grass. Everyone we spoke to was very nice. There is a metro stop close by! Cons:If staying during hot summer months, the AC upstairs in the bedrooms is limited. I would bring a fan for each room. At night sometimes it would reach 75-77 degrees. The AC thermostat is locked downstairs and it cannot be adjusted. The upstairs shower in the master bedroom drain does not work very well. This leaves water all over the floors and rugs when you shower in there. The downstairs shower only has one temperature and it is very very hot. There is no plug for the upstairs bath tub. The bedrooms do not have blackout curtains. Especially the secondary bedroom (the curtains are white lace and very see through). The pond in the front doesn’t have fish in it. Overall we had a great stay and would stay again!"

"Our studio apartment room was very clean, large and well equipped and even provided a noise machine and earplugs if needed to mute city noises but I didn’t need them. The staff were very helpful when we unfortunately had to make changes to our reservation last minute too! It is very close to the highway and naval base, about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of the Yards area."
