Perfect for DC vacation
This was a great location for a week in DC. The apartment was clean, everything worked, and it looked like the photos. There were two sets of towels and a washer and dryer. The bath products were great! We slept very soundly on the comfortable bed after days of walking the city. There were pots and pans in the kitchen, a full set of silverware, and a dishwasher (with detergent). The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. All in all, we were very happy to stay here and would use the location again. One note: The entrance is a tight fit--if you are a bigger person, you might need a different place to stay.

Bright and comfortable
The unit is very quiet and comfortable and provides all that you need. The pictures in the listing are accurate which is not always the case. For a basement unit it is very bright with nice windows. Neighborhood is super convenient. The entrance is quite tight and oddly designedso if you are very tall or need a walker I do not recommend this unit. Otherwise Enjoy /we did

Delightful
"We had a wonderful stay at this basement apartment! It was spotlessly clean, and the location was incredibly convenient with the metro just a short walk away. There were plenty of dining options nearby, which made it easy to grab a bite. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep, and the host was absolutely delightful and responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay!"

Cool and quiet
This apartment is welcoming, quiet, clean, and spacious. Our stay was a result of us needing to find adequate air conditioning close to our existing home in DC. Not only did this place provide wonderful air conditioning, but it was also a wonderful place to work comfortably as well as relax and feel like we were on a vacation just a few short streets away. We enjoyed walks at night exploring the winding streets and character filled architecture of the surrounding neighborhood.

Long weekend in Adams Morgan
The place is very clean and quiet. The bed is comfortable and plenty of space for the 2 of us. Location is great! You are in a quiet neighborhood just a short few blocks yo all the action. Loved being able to walk down 18th through Adams Morgan to Dupont Circle. Lots of great bars and restaurants to choose from. Very convenient to coffee shops or grocery stores. Our favorites were Solluna for coffee, The Greenzone for the best hummus and green cocktails. Astoria and Agora were both great food! My husband loved running in rock creek and through the zoo every morning. Perfect location and safe area.

This charming basement apt was perfect. All the comforts needed, very clean, lots of amenities! This is one of the best neighborhoods in DC— so walkable to about 1000 great restaurants, parks, wonderful walks and nearby metro! It’s a perfect place to stay! The apt has a very comfortable layout and lots of space. It’s a great place to stay when in DC!

Nice convenient neighborhood
This little apartment was perfect for our family trip to DC. It’s in a nice neighborhood conveniently located within walking distance of the zoo, plenty of restaurants, a park and a metro station. The property manager was quick to respond when contacted. We would certainly stay here again.

Nice apartment in a residential neighborhood
We live nearby and were looking for a place to stay while we were having work done on our condominium. This fit the bill nicely. It was comfortable and the kitchen was nicely appointed so that we could cook. It was fun to explore a slightly different neighborhood and find some new places. Check in was easy and the apartment looked great when we checked in. It’s a good size for one or two people. As reported, parking can be a challenge.

Great Adams Morgan location
A great place tucked into one of the beautiful, historic townhouses in a quiet neighborhood. Walk to live jazz at the Green Island or spend a day at the nearby zoo. We strolled all the way to the mall to see the cherry blossoms and some monuments - this is a little bit of a walk, but not unpleasant if you don't mind the distance. Parking is difficult. If you're driving to town or renting a car, the property managers make it easy to get a permit for on-street parting in the neighborhood, but even then we had to get really lucky to park on the block; usually we'd circle outward and find a parking spot within a five-minute walk. Not a big deal at all, and to be expected in a dense neighborhood, but thought it worth mentioning. As someone who has lived in neighboring Northern Virginia, I was happy to stay in D.C. and the proximity of this home to the places we wanted to spend time was perfect. Needless to say it was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. I'd stay here again without hesitation.

New favorite property in my favorite DC neighborhood!
This Lanier Heights property is everything a business traveler can hope for: clean, quiet, and convenient to everything you need. Some of the features that I found to be above and beyond included the dimmable lights in every room (I hate glaring overheard lights!), interesting decor, a well appointed kitchen (thank you for decent wine glasses), and a full size private laundry! This will definitely be a first choice for my regular DC trips whenever it is availabile.

Great neighborhood - quiet, clean and comfortable.
We had a very pleasant stay at this property. All was as pictured/described and we were very comfortable. The property was quiet and the neighborhood is charming and feels quite safe. The grocery store is only two blocks away, so quite convenient. We did have a problem with the washing machine not working. The staff paid for our laundry to be done mid-week, however the lack of a machine did put a slight crimp in our plans as we had packed lightly, expecting to do laundry there. The staff was trying hard to get the machine repaired, hopefully it is done now. My only recommendation would be to provide pot holders for those wishing to cook - we used the kitchen towels but real pot holders would be easier.
