My wife and I stayed here for a week with our teenage kids July 21st - July 27th. There were some things that went well with our stay, but some other things that could have also made our stay a little better compared to other VRBO stays in the past. First, when we entered, we noticed a washer and dryer. We didn't see any of those in the photos, so this was a welcome surprise, since we were going to be in town for a while. A few of the other items throughout the week seemed to pop up which is why I'm writing this review and giving the average rating. We were surprised by some of the basic things that are missing or that were on the listing that are just not on the advertised item you agreed to, but you deal with it to make everyone happy on your vacation. Listing states 'fully stocked kitchen' but there are zero mixing bowls, measuring cups, cookie sheets or any cookware to actually put anything into the oven. We purchased basic groceries like a tube cinnamon rolls and couldn't even bake them in the oven. But we made the best of our trip and for all future meals. But even the pots and pans handles all seem loose. Something like this could be fixed for $50. There seems to be a mosquito problem in the house along with a lot of dust throughout the entire residency. Also seemed odd we were given one trash bag for one full week. Luckily we had gone grocery shopping so we used those shopping bags as our trash bags too. Nice stay, but lots of minor issues.

First off, the pictures are of the inside and really make this place look better than it actually is. Secondly, the exterior has not been maintained at all. It looks very trashy, overgrown weeds, trash behind the house, no exterior maintenance at all. As for the interior, it's a very third-rate renovation at best. the kitchen wasn't very well equipped compared to the many rentals we have stayed in over the years. as for cleanliness, whoever is doing the cleaning on this place, I would consider replacing. Upon lifting the window shades, I was shocked to see the amount of dust and crud on the windows. We chose this place because they offered 2 spots of off-street parking, the owner asked for all the vehicle information which I emailed 2 weeks prior to our arrival. I was expecting to have 2 passes waiting for us but found out there wasn't anything, also there was only one spot off-street, after a few back-and-forth emails she dropped off a permit to park one car on the street. I found it to be pretty well located but the neighborhood is kind of sketchy, I was wakened the first night by gunshots pretty close by. If your not bothered by what I mentioned and your looking for something convienient and a pretty decent price, I would just give it an OK rating at best.

This property was the perfect size, price, and location for our family of 6. The layout was great for hanging out together in the living area, eating in the dining/kitchen area, and playing board/card games at night after a day in the city. It was hot in DC when we were there and air conditioning worked great! The convenient free parking spot right behind the house was so nice. The host was very kind and easy to communicate with—I would give that category 5++ stars if I could. Highly recommend!

Great property in quiet neighborhood. It would benefit from a deep cleaning. Cookware is limited and there is no bakeware, but kitchen is nice. Beds are very comfortable. Recommend room darkening curtains or blinds as streetlights are bright in front bedroom and morning sunlight is bright in rear bedroom. Excellent communication from property owner.

The neighborhood was fairly quiet with young families and pleasant neighbors. The place was nice but had a few issues. The front porch railing is not actually connected to anything and if you lean on it, you’re going to fall. The upstairs railing inside is very loose. There is no outside light for safety. The front yard area is unkempt. We had a group of 5 of us staying but there were only 2 wash clothes. Rainfall shower head seems like a nice touch but there is no water pressure. It’s probably a flipped property that just needs a little more attention. Overall a good place and would stay again.

We had a great stay here in this East Capitol Hill neighborhood. Beds were comfy. Having a parking space is extremely helpful in DC. Neighborhood was safe and homey. Walking distance to a few restaurants. Owner was very responsive and we had no issues. I would absolutely recommend. Stayed here for four nights in spring with a work colleague. Room for 2 couples and perhaps a child or fifth person on couch bed downstairs. Nice kitchen. Fast Internet and TV with a few streaming channels.

The kitchen was nicely renovated with stainless steel appliances and a a large island. The queen beds were comfortable memory foam beds. The bus stop was right around the corner. The bus route was convenient to the Capital and the Mall. The tv in the living room had Netflix installed, so one evening we relaxed with a movie. The shower had a rain-type shower head and a separate spray head. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Was perfect !
