Victoria enriched our trip to DC by recommending places and providing info. We got the insider tips. Her place is clean and well appointed. She had everything we needed and thought of everything. It was a great place to stay in DC. Train is on the corner, as is a full shopping center and chain and ethnic restaurants. ##### Joanna S. ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a bit pricy, but hey, it's Washington, DC. The locaton to get on the Metro was perfect, plus shopping and restaurants very close by. Victoria was pleasant and accommodating for all our needs. She just doesn't normally work with Expedica, so that delayed some of our confirmation communication. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jamie Y. 12 Jul 2017 #### Convient dc apartment Couple minute walk to subway and bus. 2 beds and bedrooms.

Love kittens also. ##### Jamie Y.

We each had our own space, and could still spend time together without feeling like we were falling all over each other. The apartment is very clean and well-appointed. Victoria was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the area; she gave us great advice on transportation and sightseeing. The location is also fabulous - we started every morning at the Starbucks around the corner, and had dinner nearby a couple of times. It was very convenient having CVS, Chipotle, Target, Best Buy and many other stores and restaurants nearby. Even though you go through the house to get to the apartment, we were able to come and go as we wanted and never felt like we were inconveniencing Victoria. We had complete privacy. I highly recommend this as a clean, safe and friendly place to stay. ##### Stephanie H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### barb s., Milwaukee WI 23 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So happy with our stay here!! :) Our son got a job in DC and we needed a place to stay to help him transition into a Columbia Heights apartment. Victoria's place was PERFECT.... or should I say PURRRRFECT? She has some lovely pets that will also greet you, but the third floor is all yours (pet-free!). We hope to stay again very soon - when we visit our son. THANK YOU VICTORIA. ##### barb s.

It’s a very short walk to the Metro, Target, CVS, grocery store, fast food and sit down restaurants! The rental was also very clean and comfortable. Victoria was extremely accommodating. We flew out late, and she held our bags for the day. She gave us great advice on getting around...as well as local places to go. We made so many great memories and will be back for sure in Victoria’s perfect home. 💕 ##### Cynthia S.

Victoria was a very gracious host; making sure we had everything we needed, knew where we were going, and were comfortable. She even made sure to tell me about the street parking so I wouldn’t get a ticket during street cleaning. Her property is just down the street from the Metro and is close to food and shops; which was perfect when we were tired from a day of sight-seeing. We’re looking forward to staying with her again when we come back to DC for Part 2! ##### Rebecca M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica H. 16 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Family Victoria was a fantastic hostess; accommodating and kind, going out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable.

We are a family of 5 which was a little much for that space but it worked. The bed was too soft for me but I like it firm. We were able to use her washer which was very nice! As for the area, it was safer feeling in the daytime but nighttime had a different vibe. Google the area and know your surroundings! There was a man yelling every night by the metro with a small crowd of people. One day there was a car with the windows busted out, slashed tires, one whole tire missing.... The cops were there while the tow truck was taking it away. Crazy!! Victoria was very nice and knowledgeable! ##### Leslie I. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie G. 1 Jun 2019 #### Cozy and close to everything We (family of 4) had a great stay at this cozy apt. It is so close to the metro and circulator bus, which puts you so close to everything. The apt was clean and well appointed. Victoria has lots of helpful info about places to eat etc...and is available if you need any help. We’d definitely stay again. ##### Katie G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David D. 17 May 2019 #### Comfort & Convenience Finding a place that was close to the Metro was of prime importance to us, and you don't get much closer than 1/2 block! After long days of sightseeing, we looked forward to relaxing our home away from home. Victoria was extremely welcoming, and we loved being greeted by her dog Ginger, two sweet cats, and several foster kitties. This was so much better than spending a week in a boring hotel room. We had everything we could possibly need to make us feel at home. The bed was more comfortable than our Tempur-pedic mattress at home. We slept great! Columbia Heights is an interesting area in its own right, with numerous stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. There was a basketful of menus in the apartment and Victoria gave us several good recommendations for places to eat. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone! ##### David D. Stayed 8 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth C. 7 May 2019 #### Clean and tidy, with all the you need to stay for a short or long stay. Close to public transport and shops. ##### Ruth C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony R., Haw River 2 May 2019 #### Great location and fantastic host! We stayed with Victoria for 4 nights. The space was clean and had everything we needed. There were 5 of us and it wasn’t as cramped as I thought it would be. Victoria was kind enough to rent me her parking spot behind the rental when we arrived. Originally we were going to use the street parking pass. She supplied us with Metro cards to put money on for our daily travels. The Metro is maybe 100 yards from the rental. The price and convenience of this rental cannot be matched. I am a very skeptical and picky person. I will not take my family to any place I felt unsafe. Never once did we feel unsafe or uncomfortable in her neighborhood. If you are looking for a great place to stay in DC this is the place. If we plan another trip to DC this is where we will be staying! Thanks Victoria! ##### Anthony R.
