Perfect retreat after a busy day of taking in the sights!

We traveled for our first family trip to Washington DC. We so enjoyed ourselves! The location is fantastic: out of the city, but close enough to visit the museums and monuments for the day. We had no trouble getting to the metro and catching buses. And in the evening, we could walk a block and have a cocktail on the patio of numerous restaurants before shopping for our evening meal at the local market. Kelly was kind and helpful. She suggested activities and they were perfect! We loved our daily doggie visitors and sitting out back with coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. We hated to leave when our time was over.

Very nice apartment, clean, generously stocked with standard foods and amenities. Quiet and pretty neighborhood, exceedingly convenient to restaurants and local stores, 10 minute walk from either subway or zoo. You can hear the lions roar in the morning! Friendly, responsive hosts live upstairs; only met husband in passing. English basement with nice windows in bedrooms, and a wonderful little outdoor space perfect for morning coffee. Good internet and television. One bedroom is larger and has better ensuite than the other. Noise insulation is poor but hosts are VERY quiet. Overall, an excellent apartment in a wonderful neighborhood buzzing with a vibrant mix young people, immigrants, and families. It's fun to be there.

Great apt very close to stores and restaurants.

We had a wonderful 1-week stay at this place while visiting DC. Although this was a basement unit, it had its own entry way with separate kitchen and living spaces. The owner was very responsive to questions/requests; she lives with her family upstairs from the unit. Nearby very interesting local restaurants with international flavors. Convenient, easy walk to metro & bus stops. We also rented a car for 2 days to reach places that the metro doesn't go to. Overnight parking was not easy to find in the neighborhood but not impossible. Overall, we would highly recommend this rental for traveling families.

This property is in an amazing location in the Columbia Heights/Mount Pleasant area. Easy access to the metro, great restaurants, nearby, and a cozy spot to come home to after a long day of being a tourist in Washington DC.

Amazing

Kelly was an excellent host. I enjoyed my stay.

Plenty of room, well equipped, great host. Quiet but then a block away is a lively street with good eats. Liked the outdoor space . we had everything we needed

I spent the week with my husband and his parents. We were there to sight see mostly. About 10 minute walk to Metro. Excellent food and supplies even closer. Very clean and comfortable. It is in the basement, however the back daylights into a very nice covered patio. Kelly was great. We felt very safe and sound!

Easy walk to Metro and Kelly was very helpful and accommodating. Everything you would need is there. Only downside you can hear all foot traffic from upstairs but wasn’t real bad.

Great Location to travel around Washington DC. The host family were great. The accommodations were clean and very well put together. Thank you Kelly for the time we spent there.

The space was perfect for our family. We booked this location for a day trip to the zoo. It was an easy walk to the zoo. The restaurants within walking distance were delicious. We were further away from the National Mall than I thought but it was easy to get a Lyft for 5. We had a great time. My mom loved the history book for the neighborhood on the bookshelf, nice touch! There were plenty of supplies from the owner in towels and blankets. Thank you so much for everything.

We enjoyed our stay here. The hostess (although away) was very amenable to answering or concerns; she kept in touch with us as needed. The apartment was clean and well furnished.

We loved the apartment! It was clean, comfortable, well stocked and in a lovely neighborhood. Everyone was so friendly. We used public transportation and found it convenient and easy to navigate. Kelly is an excellent host who went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. We would stay again the next time we are in D.C.

It’s the basement but has its own entry. All the things, utensils sheets covers are very clean. A 10 minute ish walk to the zoo, 2 minutes to bus stop and 10 to metro. People around are really nice. Lots of Mexican restaurants nearby and a 15 -30 minutes walk or 10 minutes by bus can take you to various food places. Our only trouble was the mosquitoes. Too bad. Everyone was almost eaten up by them. Otherwise really nice neighborhood!

We enjoyed our stay in the area. The next time I will come when it’s not a holiday. It was a little too much going on. Otherwise we enjoyed it. The place was lovely and the area was great. We were able to walk to restaurants.

My sister and I spent 4 nights at this rental, and it was ideal for our needs. A short walk from a Metro station or Lyft to/from anywhere in town got us to monuments and museums with ease. We were able to pick up a few foodie items at Each Peach nearby and cook breakfasts, with plenty of tasty restaurants within walking distance for evening meals. We both also had privacy for when we were done with together time and needed to decompress after being out and about all day! The bed in the large room was firmer than I prefer, but I had the same thing at the hotel I was in earlier in the week for a conference, so that might be my back more than the bed.

We had a great time staying at VRBO in DC. The basement apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. Very close to bus route to go to historic landmarks. Kelly was a fabulous host and answered any questions we had. The kitchen was well stocked and we bought fresh seafood and ate on the covered patio. The apartment is in a 100 year old charming home in a quaint neighborhood.

Everything was great! Such a cute place! Communication was excellent! Kelly was wonderful to work with. We really enjoyed our stay!

Kelly was an awesome host-we had no major issues, and she responded quickly to questions that we had. Apartment is as described. Well stocked, clean, in a nice neighborhood. We did not do as much cooking as anticipated- the neighborhood has wonderful cafes and restaurants nearby. We walked to the zoo and took the metro to national mall. Thanks again for the wonderful stay.

This is our second stay at Kelly's place in Mt Pleasant. Kelly is a great host and it was a perfect place/location for visiting our son and celebrating his graduation.

Highly recommend for a comfortable stay in D.C.!

Spacious unit with nice back porch and yard. Excellent location near stores. It was our second stay here. We’ll be back.

Lovely hostess. Everything you could possibly need.

House had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Enjoyed walking the dog around the neighborhood. Restaurants and stores close enough to walk to. Good communication with the owner.

Kelly was very accommodating and everything was just perfect! Thank you for a great stay!

My husband and I loved Kelly's special comfortable apartment in a beautiful neighborhood in Mt Pleasant, within easy walking distance of the Washington Zoo and the Washington Cathedral! We even walked to join our granddaughter at American University! We will definitely return! Thank you Kelly! Cary and Harriette

Great host. Beautiful apartment. Perfect location. Don't hesitate to book a stay here. Thanks Kelly!

I am very pleased with our stay. The location is great. We only used a taxi to get back and forth from the airport (Dulles). We otherwise used the Metro to get to all locations as this was a sight seeing vacation. The rental was clean and well stocked with the amenities we needed to cook meals and do laundry. The beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of fresh towels and linens. The price for getting 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in D.C. close to all the sights is very reasonable. It is a basement apartment of a family home so you will hear the footsteps of those above and their dogs, but in reality I wouldn’t let that deter you from renting this place. We loved eating at the Purple Patch restaurant which Is very close. We also found we were able to get all the food we needed close by.

Definitely a gem! My friends and I enjoyed our stay. Definitely would recommend staying here.
