First Time DC Visitors

The home was incredibly clean and well equipped with everything we could want or need - even providing a wheel chair for our 80 year old mother. Location was prime and the communication with the owner was 5 stars.

Beautiful property, fantastic location

This is a beautiful VRBO and I can highly recommend it. The location is perfect. We walked to the Mall on two separate mornings and also through Georgetown. Very easy to get Ubers to Adams Morgan, home from dinners, etc. The VRBO is well stocked with coffee and snacks and toiletries and the hosts are very responsive and friendly.

Beautiful property, great hosts

I booked this on behalf of my parents + aunts who travelled in from S Korea. The property was so spacious and they loved the decoration. Anand and Lisa were very communicative throughout and even met my parents out front to walk them through rverything when they first arrived. My family enjoyed the location and ability to walk and get around without a car. They would definitely stay here again if they visited DC in the future.

City living at its finest!

Three generations stayed for a quick trip to the big city and we all loved this VRBO. Not only is it conveniently located to catch the bus and subway, but it’s also impeccably appointed and beautifully decorated. The host was so kind and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants. We would all highly recommend this VRBO to our most discerning friends and family.

Wonderful property and hosts

The property was beautiful, comfortable and clean! Location was great, 10 min walk to the White House and so many great restaurants. We were a group of 6….5 adults and one teen, and we fit comfortably in the house. Anand and Lisa are wonderful hosts, so gracious and welcoming, they even changed the sheets for us after a minor medical issue. Highly recommend this property!

Terrific Location

This property is in a terrific location near the National Mall and Foggy Bottom Metro Station. Townhome was great for our larger group (4 adults and 4 children) with a mix of sophistication and practicality. We loved it. The hosts were easy to work with and accommodating. We had a problem with Delta and had to arrive late. After the national flight problems they communicated with us directly and made every change possible. Many thanks to Anand.
