Okay
Jennifer H. · Stayed Oct 2024
Inside the property is lovely, clean and comfortable. Difficult time trying to get into the property as key did not unlock second entryway door. Property is not in a good area/neighborhood which was loud at all hours of the night during the week. Parking spaces are rare and difficult to find near the property even with a parking pass.
Okay

The inside of the home is great but there is no parking unless a neighbor move.
Good

We had a great stay. Close to everything we were hoping to do while in D.C. Smithsonians', zoo, Nationals game, etc.
Poor
Shamel B. · Stayed Jul 2025
The layout inside beautiful. There were a few things that were surprising. A rack in the master bedroom with linens, unaware if they were dirty or clean. Bath linen washcloths were not available and instructions on parking permits left us without a pass for our first overnight stay. It would have been good to know we were in an area where rats were a constant. That was not an assumption anyone would have made. Though parking was limited we were able to park on the street every day. The place inside was clean, overall there were some areas of transparency that were left out. I apologize but I am not taking pictures of rats or roaches, my host knows that they surround the property. Maybe meet your tenant day one. It's up north, but some visitors may be looking for a southern introduction.
