What a wonderful experience! Victoria and Rob are wonderful hosts, the apartment was perfect for us and a quick metro ride from everything we came to see. Due to the shutdown, we will be back and will absolutely stay here again.

We had an excellent stay. The apartment is in a great location. Walking distance to many stores and restaurants and the metro/bus stops. The neighborhood is beautiful, lots of greenery and beautoful landscaping. Perfect for morning walks. The apartment itself was very comfortable and had everything we could have needed and more. As a plus, Victoria and Rob could not have been more welcoming and we knew we were in good hands the minute we got there! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Nice Finished Basement with Amenities The property was in a nice location, easily walkable to the Woodley Park/Zoo metro station or Cleveland Park metro station. The National Zoo was also right around the block! The place itself was clean, well maintained, and had basically anything you could need. The beds were cozy, even the pullout couch! There was good wi-fi and a TV with a few streaming options. The wall-mounted AC unit struggled a little bit and it did get stuffy, but it was fairly tolerable with the ceiling fan.The only big complaint I have in the end was the amount of noise… I’m usually not one to be woken up, especially multiple times a night, by noise. I’m honestly not sure if it’s just the house itself or what but both my partner and I did not end up sleeping very much due to the volume and frequency of various things from the upstairs host/family. We tried to be fairly quiet ourselves but a lot of the noise was from footsteps above…

Perfect location to explore DC! This charming basement apartment is a short walk to the Metro/groceries/zoo and only a few metro stops from the National Mall. Amenities included a small kitchen which allowed us to prepare meals and bag lunches for our trips into DC. Hosts are lovely and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

Great little place for a DC visit The hosts are wonderful and very helpful. The apartment was easy to find and very close to the metro station. It was everything we needed for a 5-day trip to DC. Next time we visit, we will try to book this again!

Great place for DC adventures! This was an excellent spot to use as a jumping-off point for exploring the city. The actual rental is a basement apartment in a beautiful neighborhood, less than 10 minutes' walk from a subway station on the red line. We could go from walking out the door to being on the national mall in half an hour or less. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and everything was exactly as described in the listing. There was very little noise overall (considering that we were directly underneath their main living space), and it was very quiet at night. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable place to land after a day of sightseeing.

Fabulous hosts, The property was an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of DC. Only a short ride on the metro and easy walking distance to the zoo. All the amenities you would need.Victoria and Rob were super friendly and the communication before we arrived was excellent. They even invited us for breakfast one morning, which was lovely. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thanks for your hospitality! V

Cozy place in great location The apartment was just as expected and had all we needed. My husband and I slept well on the queen bed and our teen had the pull out couch- more comfy than you’d expect. There’s no privacy for either sleeping area but the apartment was just the right size for the 3 of us.The hosts were helpful and responsive. It’s in a beautiful neighborhood which is close to 2 metro stops, restaurants, a lovely park and walking/biking trail. We easily got to all our DC destinations. 5 Mon walk to the zoo!The apt is a bit dark but we expected that. We could hear hosts and their guests upstairs in their home but it didn’t bother us. Overall we thought we’d gotten a great deal and will try to book it in the future.
