Our family visited DC for my oldest son's senior trip. The location was perfect, we appreciated the thorough guide of the city and the spacious stay. The condo is close to all of the amenities of the city!
Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Explorers Paradise! Great location with an easy walk to the Capitol building. The unit was better than we expected and perfect for our family of 5. We would stay here again if ever back in DC.
10.0 / 10.0
Very nice, quiet neighborhood and property. Capitol is very close but that's about it. 10-15 min walk to train, 1 or 2 restaurants in walking distance, 1 corner market. So we had food delivered a few times. Comfortable space for our family of 4.

Very enjoyable visit to DC and just as enjoyable accommodations
10.0 / 10.0
This property is in a great spot. The unit was very clean and welcoming. Two of the beds are very soft, the third bed and couch are firm. Kitchen had what we needed. Corner stores close by as well as some great restaurants: Nostra Cucina and Junction. We had a small maintenance issue and the management was very responsive and helpful. If there is someone in the upper unit you can easily hear walking around. If you are a light sleeper bring eye mask and ear plugs.

I think you should know the upstairs tenants were very loud.
I think you should know the upstairs tenants were very loud. Small children running, the sounds of moving furniture, etc. I stayed at this property last year and did not experience sounds this loud. Your team was very responsive to my questions prior to our stay and during.

Fabulous location! The location cannot be beaten!
Walking distance to the Capitol and the Mall. Download the Capitol Bike app and you will have inexpensive travel to all of DC's attractions.
The four of us, two teen boys, husband and myself, stayed here. Our boys refuse to share a bed. One teen took a bedroom and the other took the couch/bed. My husband loved the mattress in the front bedroom, but it was a bit too hard for me. The bedrooms are spacious. The entire place is fresh and clean. Airconditioning worked well. Although it is a garden apartment, I never felt the place was too dark. They have bright lighting and natural lighting was nice. Check in was a breeze. Keyless entry was very convenient.
I gave every category 5 stars except the overall rating. Why? Although it has everything you need this apartment lacks the extra niceties of a 5-star place. Some suggestions to lift this great place to 5-star:
- A sitting/reading chair with a side table in each bedroom. When you want a quiet room while the tv is on your only choice is a bed to sit on.
- Mirrors at average height eye level w/shelf in each bedroom. There is only one place do to your hair/makeup, the tiny bathroom. There was nowhere else I could blow dry and style my hair. One of the bedrooms had a mirror/shelf, but it was very small and it was on the wall so low it was useless. I'm 5'6".
-Additional plates and supplies. There were 6 of everything, except when something had broken and not been replaced. I think there were only 5 plates, maybe it was bowls?
- A set of plastic storage containers for leftovers. There were a few random storage containers of really odd sizes. When we cooked and had leftovers there really wasn't any good containers to store them in for the next meal.
- New set of tongs. The supplied tongs were tiny and silicone tipped. There wasn't enough distance to keep me from getting burnt from snapping bacon grease and the silicone floppy tongs wouldn't grip the bacon. I wound up using a fork.
-Wipes and a small vacuum. Being there for a week things get dirty and I wanted to clean up. There was a broom/dustpan, but those didn't work well when sweeping up bits of glass when a rootbeer bottle was dropped. I wished for Clorox wipes as well.
-Dimmer switches. The canned lighting is SUPER bright. With the lights on it is as bright as NOON. It was hard to get my body ready to sleep with such bright lights. I longed for dimmer switches.
