The host, Peter, went above and beyond. He informed us when we had to move our car for street cleaning and checked in on us to see if we needed anything, he even sent us a message that a storm was coming! The apartment is small but clean and comfortable. It was perfect for our family as we just needed a place to sleep and make dinners and wash clothes as needed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. ##### Andrea S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica B.

The apartment itself is small but has everything you might want: stove, oven, dish washer, washing machine, iron and ironing board, Keurig, toaster, microwave, first aid kit, ... You get the idea. The owners have thought of almost everything. I appreciated that they have placed notes throughout about how to operate everything. The place was immaculate Peter reached out to me to make sure everything was okay. My only problem was the lack of sound proofing between this basement apartment and the apartment above it. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs. ##### Jessica B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike B.

Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Randall R. Mar 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice Location The location of this Vrbo is great for anything within walking distance of Capitol Hill. I rented this basement apartment for a short notice trip to DC, primarily for the price and location.The steps down to the only entrance were awkward and may be difficult if one is challenged by stairs. This place was SMALL but adequate for a single person on a short trip. The bed, kitchen, dining table were all located in the 300ish sq. ft. room with a tiny bathroom attached. The shower was as big as the other part of the bathroom. The bed was located at the foot of the basement stairs, which were "closed" by something that looked like cardboard. The ceiling was covered by foam squares that appeared to be for sound deadening. They may have helped with voices or television sounds, but I heard every step of the two in the room above. Thankfully they stopped walking at a reasonable hour.The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked. A few dozen eggs, coffee, snacks, etc. was a pleasant surprise even though I had purchased some groceries.Communication with the owner was very good. No complaints there. Location was perfect for what I needed. Neighborhood seemed relatively safe. I was very luck being able to park just a few doors down, but I don't think you could expect that. In the end, it served its purpose. I won't rent this place if travelling to DC again. A hotel would be better but were near triple regular price due to a historic event in that time period. ##### Randall R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike A.

His communication was excellent from start to finish, making the entire process seamless. The space was extremely comfortable and impeccably clean—just what we needed for our trip. The location is unbeatable! My wife and I visited for the Bruce Springsteen concert and had a blast exploring local restaurants and bars beforehand. We even enjoyed the Eagles game at Tom’s Watch Bar, which was so much fun! On concert day, we spent hours at the Wharf soaking in the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend this gem! ##### Jason H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Q. Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Location for Our Trip To D.C. This VRBO was exactly what we needed. The Library of Congress was a quick walk away so getting to my training class was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed taking walks in the afternoons to look at the historic homes. We went to many of the wonderful resturants close by. We spent two days walking to the Capital, the Smithsonians, etc... Everything was clean and cozy with plenty of coffee and snacks. Peter was clear in all of his communications and it was nice knowing we could reach out if we had any questions. This will definately be where we stay when we come back again. Thanks so much for a great experience. ##### Christopher Q.
