We had a great time at this property! It was exactly as described on the listing. The property was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The location was close enough for us to walk to everything we wanted to see. It was about a mile and a half to the National Mall and totally doable. Highly recommend this property for your DC vacation!
Group of folks from our practice stayed for a conference at the convention center. Great walkable location, clean, spacious. Friendly communications with owners. Highly recommend!!
House is well designed, spotlessly clean, and has great hosts. Stephen and Ivan were easy to reach and always helpful. Plenty of room for the 7 family members to spread out, relax, and enjoy each other's company. The already decorated Christmas Tree was icing on the cake.

Our family of 6 stayed at this property for our visit to DC and it was the perfect place for our stay! We were close to all the main sites with the National Mall and museums a very quick Uber ride away. We walked to dinner almost every night. We had made reservations in advance using the home address and there were plenty of great places to eat within a 15 min or less walk. Lots of shops and places to eat were within 2 blocks. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with family at this stellar home. The decor is beautiful and the hosts are terrific and so accomodating. Since the two units can be closed off our one son and his family could spend time alone and their 1 yr old could nap away from the noise upstairs. With 2 kitchens we were able to prepare and host all 4 of our sons and familes (kids ages 6; 15 months; 1 and 7 months) for Thanksgiving dinner. The location is great as well with a metro stop closeby and lots of resturaunts as well. It is a well deserved 5 Star!!!! Thanks to Stephen and Ivan hosts with the most.
This was a great property with room for 4 adults, each having their own bathroom. Though central, the house was quiet and had a neighbourly feel, close to restaurants and the Washington Convention centre where we were attending a conference.
We would recommend this property to anyone, except those who dont like stairs!
Great Location. Lots of Stairs. Not for those with ADA needs.
Great property in the Shaw neighborhood. Main issue was ADA accessibility of property. There are LOTS of stairs for those with mobility issues. Stairs to enter property and stairs to go to any bedroom. It would be helpful to have clearly stated that although this property is in a great central location, it is not for the elderly, canes, crutches, or any other mobility issue. There are no bedrooms nor full baths on any main level.
