Find Places to Stay in Washington on Airbnb

A beautiful and quirky room in a lively and interesting neighborhood. Paul was an excellent host, very quick to respond, and he also knows a lot about the area and where to spend time. Thanks for a great stay!

Paul was an amazing host. He met me out front when I arrived and filled me in on the best things to do nearby, including restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and a good place to go for a run in the morning. The space was very clean with plenty of towels, water, coffee, and snacks. Private entrance with a cozy garden right outside the door. Bus stops and bike share are right around the corner.

This is a little gem in the heart of DC. Paul was consistently responsive and helpful in everything we needed. Upon check-in, he gave us a great little history lesson and thorough tips on the place and the neighborhood. The place itself is lovely. There is a charming garden you walk through to get to the door. The space is impeccably designed and clean - and everything has function even though it is cozy. He also left nice touches like a neighborhood map and tips on paper, coffee, tea and snacks. We stayed here for 1 night and would absolutely stay here again.

The location was fantastic, located near small convenience stores and cute fine dining options. The decor was extremely homey and the back patio is the highlight of the stay.

Beautiful place and wished we stayed here more than one night! Paul was very kind and provided us with info on all of the neighborhood spots.

Paul was very attentive and helpful. The space is a bit cramped, so I don't know it would be for two people. But the area is very charming.

Do not miss granny and the boys if you’re there on a Sunday night ! Paul’s place is close to many cute restaurants and just a short ride from all the main attractions. I really admire how they designed the space , truly beautiful.

When we booked our airbnb in Washington a lot of month ago our preference was not the accommodation of Paul Cerruti; we made a last minute booking because our original destination was canceled just 2 days before arriving. So we normally not have chosen the Cerruti place. I wish to express that Paul and Zack give us a very warm welcome and did everything to compensate our negative feelings. That was really great!

Perfect, simple nest in a central DC neighborhood. Quiet and comfortable with fabulously helpful hosts.

Julian and Lucrecia are so nice, and they gave us a lot of suggestions about restaurants and visiting. Living there is very comfortable. Also, the transportation is convenient. They have two lovely cats.^_^

Great host and warm hospitality. Location is convenient

I had a great stay here and would definitely recommend to a friend! Julian and Lucrecia are amazingly nice and friendly people and I felt very much at home at their place. The bedroom was nice and exactly as expected from the pictures, with two separate beds, which were very comfortable, a small desk and room to hang some clothes. And the bathroom was just one door down the hall (private bathroom), and was small but good. And the neighborhood is amazing! Full of lovely small streets with beautiful and picturesque houses. The apartment is very close to 14th street with many nice restaurants, bars, coffee bars and shops, and only a short walk to the metro station to take you downtown. I can't wait to visit Washington DC again and would definitely check if this Airbnb is still available by then.

The place was beyond my expectation. Really cool, comfortable and beautiful, located in a quiet street, a few minutes walking distance to restaurants and entertainment venues. We went to a comedy show at the venue 9:30, and a restaurant called Tico, 10 minutes walk away. The host is super nice and knowledgable about the current and historic scene in Washington, DC.

Julian and Lucrecia were very helpful during our stay and lovely hospitality. The location is excellent! I would definitely recommend a stay here

Julian welcomed me early morning as I checked in from a red-eye to DC. Only then I realized that I landed in my favorite and hippest part of DC, the 14th Street corridor with awesome bars and restaurants a mere block away. The area is residential, green, quite and safe, slept so well! The bottle of water was the touch that made me feel home, and the conversation and connection was what continued to make this stay everything right about AirBNB (not to be forgotten the lovely breakfast). Would and will come back anytime and recommend whole heartedly this rustic urban designer chic.

A nicely located spot, clean, friendly hospitality!

Jessica is a perfect host. The house has everything you might need. The location is superbe, it is close to downtown Washington with its shops and restaurants. We warmly suggest to stay at Jessica home. We walked a lot although we drove our car from New York and Via is much more cheaper and kind here than back at home. The civic welcome of a city can also be measured by a release of the free parking permit for the zone where the house is located. And in this case the Zone 2 is wide and full of empty spots, day and night. We suggest the all the classic tours, bit if it happens to be here on Saturday don’t forget the Eastern Market with its stalls of capable craftsmen, artisans and artists. And tiny but tasteful restaurants.

You will not be able to find a better place to stay in Georgetown than this. Right in the middle of the most beautiful neighborhood you can imagine, and close to restaurants, stores and even a movie theater. Jessica was so kind and helpful in so many ways. Our room was just perfect and we had the sense we were staying in a luxury hotel the whole time, from the amazingly soft towels and bedding to the immaculate bathroom (with a heated mirror that did not steam up from showering). We were on the third floor and had a lovely view of the street and beautiful homes on it. On more than on occasion Jessica was there to suggest activities when we stalled with our plans. We loved our stay and would love to go back again on our next trip to DC.

Jessica is a lovely person and his house is beautiful and very well equipped. I loved it. Many thanks Jessica.

Very accommodating, nice house, great host

Very tasteful environment in a supreme location. Comfy bed, great shower, cool rooftop hangout. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Very helpful.

Jessica's place is impeccably clean, quiet, and located close to both Dupont circle and Georgetown. It's really the ideal airbnb, with lots of considerate touches and a pleasant

Great location and house . Really very nice hostess. However, it is a shared space, so not for everybody.

Jenny's Zen Apartment was an excellent location and an ideal setup. We had a wonderful visit!

Beautiful, stylish and a wonderful location! Everything looks just like the pictures! I would definitely stay here again.

The apartment is great, spacious, a lot of light, in a neat little neighbourhood. Highly recommended.

A darling apartment in a convenient and diverse neighborhood of DC. Would definitely want to stay there again!

Beautiful, comfortable, and spacious loft-type accommodations! Looks even better and is larger than the pictures portray. We enjoyed 5 nights there and everything we needed was provided. The location is fantastic and even though it is in the middle of a city type neighborhood, it felt safe and was surprisingly quiet. A delicious ice cream shop is located in the same building on the first floor. At first, we were a little concerned, but it was not a problem at all! If anything, it was really convenient after a long day of sight seeing to grab an ice cream and enjoy it in our beautiful private space. We would definitely stay there again!

This is my new DC default for having friends in town. It's an amazing location, and the apartment is top notch. Really spacious and clean. Jenny's husband had wonderful food recommendations, and they were both really welcoming and communicative hosts. We felt right at home. Would definitely go back and recommend for anyone coming through DC!

Location, light, luxury. It was a wonderful space, and although the kitchen was clearly not intended for intensive use, we still were able to cook nutritiously for our family once or twice a day. We’d come back here in a heartbeat! The neighborhood was ideal, friendly, and perfect for our needs.

The best experience I’ve ever had

The Tiny House exceeded our expectations and made our stay truly unique. The place was very clean and fully equipped (not to mention a nice book selection!). The bed gave us a full night's rest after exploring DC by day. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Tiny House again!

This was a great and affordable option for two. Downtown DC is accessible by public transit although we chose to Uber. Linden was nice enough to give us a free street parking pass and had coffee and snacks in the cabin. The space is tight and there is no closet, but other than that everything was great.

Very cool tiny house in quiet neighborhood. Roughly $5.00 Uber ride to downtown DC. Walking distance to great variety of restaurants on H street. Host was very responsive and helpful. Great value for DC.

We loved staying here! Check in was so easy and Linden left helpful suggestions for places to eat and ways to get around the city. The place had everything we needed. Highly recommend for 1-2 people staying in DC.

Linden's place is awesome. It's in a great section of DC convenient to everything and it was super cute. It's a tiny house just as described but is plenty of space for two people staying in DC for a few days. Linden was super accommodating and was able to get us in early. She had a parking permit ready for us so we could park on her street for two days without worrying about getting a ticket. Overall a terrific value, nice and clean inside and just awesome. Definitely stay here if you're passing thru DC!

It was perfect. A tiny house with a lot of style. Highly recommended!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in the tiny house! It was very clean and just like the pictures. You can tell Linden really put thought into the home and we really appreciated the snacks and coffee for the mornings, and the AC (it was near 100 degrees when we visited). The neighborhood wasn't too far from downtown and it was near plenty of restaurants and things to do.

This was our first time with Airbnb and it the best. The location of the place was in a residential area, and it was a 25 min walk from the Union Railway station(this is the place where all the sight-seeing tours start)But with a lot of luggage it better to take a taxi.It was pretty easy to find the place. It was a small backyard cottage at the rear of the house,a bit small especially as we were with luggage, but for a couple it is the best place.Even though we reached very late in the night it was easy to find and move into the house,as the passcode to enter was sent to our email address two days in advance. The beds and toilets were neat and clean.It had a tv, fridge,microoven ice cubes, lot of plugs for charging our devices.Clean toiletries, towels. Linden was very helpful in responding to our AIRBNB messages immediately. During the checkout we got to meet Linden and talk to her.They even let us keep our baggage in their backyard room,as the check-out time was 12 noon, we were able to finish our Washington DC sightseeing and then get back pick-up our baggage and leave. Overall it was a pleasant and cozy stay, will definitely recommend to our friends and relatives.

Her place is just amazing! Private room with a sparkling bathroom. She has put in an extra effort to make sure that guests are comfortable. Her kitchen is very neat and you will find all the necessary things on the shelves such as plates and cutlery. She is a warm person and wears a smile and is ready to help. The attractions are about 15 mins -20 mins from her place. We walked till union station! DC is spectacular.

Very quaint, very close to Catholic University of America Roberta is a great host

Roberta is so wonderful. She is very kind and very attentive. Her place is beautiful and located in a fun area I enjoyed exploring.

Loved Roberta’s super cool, charming , clean place. Location was convenient- close enough to do the tourist thing ie monuments, museums but located in the awesome friendly neighborhood of Brookland. Great front porch to sit on and even a backyard!

Roberta's place is super clean, well-appointed, private, and overall a very comfortable place to stay. Would definitely stay again!

The place was so cozy, comfy, and clean. Roberta always responded to any questions/messages and left really helpful information in the room. Plus, the location of the house was perfect (right near the red line).

Room very conform To description. The house is located 10min walking distance from the metro station brookland. Roberta was Nice and let us use her kitchen and fridge so that we could cook our own meals and breakfast which was very convenient. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Roberta's place is comfortable and clean. She was very helpful accommodating and kind. We just popped in for the night but I'm confident that an extended stay would have been equally as enjoyable.

The place and location is very much as described. The home is stylishly furnished and located near shops and nightlife. However, breakfast was never served. Jessica texted me with the list of items that I could take from the fridge for breakfast but all of those were spoiled. I ended up eating my sandwich leftover from the night before. Also, pay close attention to the note that additional occupants may stay at an additional cost.

Clean and comfortable spot! Jessica went out of her way to make sure that I had everything I needed and that check in was easy as possible. Comfy bed and private bathroom. Great place, I would stay again in a heartbeat!

This was my first experience with Airbnb and I was very impressed. A combination of quiet, comfort, cleanliness, and amenities made my business/pleasure stay a stepup from the normal and very expensive hotel in a city like DC.

Thank you for opening your home up to us. We had a wonderful time while in DC and having our own space at your place was so much nicer than staying in a motel. Thanks for all your restaurant tips too!

Great space and beautiful fully stocked kitchen! Would stay again!

Nice traditional house, good location, nice equipped rooms, good mattress. Jessica is a very friendly host. It feels a bit different to other Airbnb’s as there are several rooms that are rented through Airbnb.

Great

it was so beautiful

The apartment was great - very comfortable, clean and spacious. Marc is a great host - we had everything we needed. He's very open and positive person with wonderful dauthers. We'd love to stay there again!

Everything was as good as we expected it. We will come back one day if we are again at the city. We had a lovely stay. Greetings from germany Steffi and Markus

This place was great! My family and I came to DC for a 5 day vacation and it was so nice having a kitchen available to cook all our breakfasts and some dinner. The value can't be beat! The neighborhood felt safe and was easy to find. Very nice having a bedroom and a futon for extra sleeping room. Was very convenient having a washer and dryer on site. Marc was very easy to work with and let us check in early when our flight was earlier than planned. We emailed him once to ask for a fan and he was very quick and attentive. (Only suggestion would be to provide a toaster and/or microwave in the kitchen for even more convenience) Overall we had no complaints with our stay and would stay again if ever in the area!

Everything was awesome! Great communication. Great apartment. Clean and actually roomier than I thought. Would love to come again.

Marc was a great host, and the basement apartment was very nice. Marc was quick to respond the few times we had questions. Nice neighborhood that really gives you more a feel of being a local for your stay.

Marc is a very communicative, responsive host. Check-in was easy and the apartment is exactly as described. There are no grocery stores nearby, only convenience stores, so plan ahead. It’s a quick walk to bus stops and the Metro, so no car, no problem. I was astonished that at night it was as quiet as my home in a rural area! All in all, this was a great Air BnB experience.

Great host who responds extremely quickly to everything. The apartment has everything needed to serve as a place to call home temporarily while exploring this wonderful city. Very easy access to public transportation, and generally about a $10 Lyft/Uber ride to the national mall area. Also, a couple of good restaurants within walking distance, including one of our favorites - The Red Hen. Enjoyed our stay and encourage you to look at This location as the value is great.

The flat was not correctly prepared and cleaned in our arrival but Marc figured it out fastly the day after and proposed a refund of one day in our rent period.

Private entrance, good bars within walking distance.

The Garage Mahal is a great place to stay in Washington. It's a lovely hideaway where you can relax by a wood stove while having Washington's city life a few minutes away from you (there's an under-floor-heating as well). Marc provided us with everything needed and checked on our well-being regularly. Though the garage is located in the backyard of the house, we had absolute privacy during our stay. It is a very individual, comfortable and nicely furnished place. We had a great time at Marc's and recommend it to anyone who is looking for an accomodation off the mainstream track of guest rooms!

Convenient, affordable, straightforward no nonsense place to stay for a night in DC.

Marc’s garage is a nice place to stay for a short period in Washington, well connected with the public means of transport but still a little far from the very centre and most enjoyable district, like Georgetown. Marc let us find a very cosy place and that’s all I wanted after a long trip to DC.

Great place for a short stay. Buses close by, but Metro a little further to walk. Wonderful though to be able to leave the car savely!! Place was very clean and comfortable.

Yes, he was quick in answering our requests. The neighbourhood was safe.

This was my boyfriend and my first trip to DC, and we couldn't have been happier staying at the garage mahal! Parking was super convenient (garage space attached to room), the room itself was spacious and super cute, and the location was convenient. We had a very confortable and happy stay at Mark's place. He had everything ready for us when we arrived and was available when we wanted to chat with him. The room was comfortable perfect for a weekend get away. The neighborhood had some fun restaurants and bars and was pretty close to the metro. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends!

Marc was a fantastic host. He game us multiple contact possibilities, left very helpful instructions, as well as hints for transportation for the local area. His suggestions for eating out were spot on. We loved the converted garage/studio space and our boys thought it was way better than a hotel. The location is very conducive for getting around with the metro being not very far. Seeing the backyard garden when you wake up is great and a welcome departure from hotel existence. Thanks for a great stay, Marc!

Very comfortable & clean stay!

Everything about the space was fantastic. Nearly everything was provided. It’s a few minutes to the metro. However, the neighborhood was not the best.

This is a full apartment with a living-room, kitchenette and a bedroom with very nice and large bed. The location is extremely convenient just a block away from the metro station: the orange line will bring you downtown in less than 20 minutes. I am extremely pleased with my stay, thank you for everything Kevin.

Incredible place, it was very specious and a very quiet neighborhood. the host communicated the entire time although i arrived late he still managed to help me check in. Great place to stay

The location is great, very close to the nearest metro station. The room was clean and as shown in the pictures. The room with the TV had no lights so it was dark at night but other than that there were no issues. However, there were instances where the host was unprofessional. At the time of booking and check-in, the listing clearly showed the check-out time was 24:00. We also informed him we wished to check out around 18:00. Despite this, the day before our check-out date, he told us to get out by 9:00 in the morning because he had agreed for another guest to check-in at 12:00 the same day. Making such a drastic change with no discussions or room for negotiation was unheard of. In addition, detailed check-out instructions (with insufficient information) were given to us after 9:00, after we had adhered to his designated check-out time and left the room. These instances showed his lack of organization. Overall, a great room and a nice but unorganized host.

2nd time stay just as great as the first!

It was about 20 minutes from the city center which was ideal because we didn’t want to be in the chaos of the city. Kevin was very quick in answering all questions. Overall the place was spotless and had a minimalistic decor which we did not mind at all. The surrounding area was quiet and was safer than expected. Not to mention, the price was incredible! I would definitely book again.

I stayed at Kevin’s for a month and, for the price I paid, I expected a shoe box in the projects. I was in awe of what I got- an entire 1-bedroom apartment in decent area of DC with new and clean carpets as well as a smart TV, great WiFi, and a nice comfortable place to sleep. The futon was a nice extra. I checked in super late with no issues. Parking was also never a problem. Kevin reached out periodically to see if I needed anything, and went out of his way to drop off necessities. I felt I definitely had everything I needed and more. I would definitely book again if I am in the area. Thanks Kevin!

Stayed for 2 nights for a quick trip to DC to visit the museums. Location great, bed comfy, easy Uber ride to the mall, and quiet. Jen and Adam were super fast at responding to questions. We did have problems with the shower- the hot water ran out on my husband, who took one after my quick one. We solved the issue by me showering at night, him in the morning.

A great neighburhood to explore and the apartment has all you need for a short stay. I enjoyed my time there.

You could not wish for better hosts than Adam & Jen, who were extremely welcoming and helpful. The room is quite small but really comfortable and well equipped, and the hosts had generously left snacks and drinks as well as plenty of literature on DC. We were there during the government shutdown but Adam gave us ideas for an enjoyable stay. Anyone going to Washington would enjoy staying with Adam and Jen. I recommend them most warmly and without reservation. 10 stars at least!

Quality stay for short break. Adam and Jen provided great amenities and the parking space is invaluable.

This was the perfect place for me. Adam and Jen are gracious hosts who were responsive to my needs. An easy walk to Union Station and a little longer walk to Eastern Market Metro. Only two blocks to a bus that connected me with other transportation. Loved the neighborhood. The Eastern Market is not to be missed. Get there at the beginning of your stay to pick up fresh fruit, baguettes, find a good coffee shop and gelato if that is your craving. Gardens in the area were lovely to see as well. The apartment was fairly quiet and I appreciated being able to watch the Olympics in the evening. Definitely would stay here again!

All good. Very convenient to the Capitol.

It has been a very warm welcome, although I've arrived quite late. Adam showed me everything and gave me some sightseeing tips. He also showed me his garage, where he does his handcrafted furnitures. Unfortunately I didn't meet Jen, but I highly recommend this place to everybody. Thanks for having me... See you next time in Washington.

Adam and Jen’s place is fantastic! The location is wonderful and super accessible. Had the pleasure of meeting Adam and he was such a great help and host. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to booking with them again.

Cliff was an amazing host! Everything was just as he said and more! The place was perfect for my boyfriend and I! If we had any questions, he answered quickly and had great recommendations for restaurants and getting to the metro. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

The space was very cozy, clean and comfortable! Thank you, Cliff!

Cliff’s place is THE BEST. He is very easy to communicate with and was so nice enough to let my boyfriend and I drop off our bags around 6am!! If you’re looking to stay in DC don’t look elsewhere! Cliff has everything for your stay and more! The place is spotless and it has easy access to the White House/any other tourist spot. All you have to do is take the 70 or 79 bus down and you’re done! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.. I wish Cliff had Airbnb’s everywhere I go!

Comfortable stay and a well maintained cozy place. Would recommend.

Clifford is a great host, the neighborhood is lovely and the space itself is very nice. Highly recommended!

Clifford's place was perfect for our trip to DC. One of the best parts was how nice and cool the place was after being in the heat all day. The white noise of the AC made it really easy to fall asleep at night too. He even had a washer and dryer, that we really needed! We felt really lucky to be staying there.

We absolutely loved Clifford's apartment. It was close to many attractions and was very comfortable and clean. The apartment was well stocked with everything you may need. I loved how he had coffee and even my favorite creamers, as well as an assortment on teas. The neighborhood was quiet. If you are spending time in the DC/MD/VA are this is a great place to stay. There are tons of restaurants in close proximity to this location. If we are ever in this area again we would stay at this place again.

Great host, had a very nice time!

Great value. Super easy

Very nice place, clean, cozy and close to the city centre; the value for money is very convenient and the ambience is friendly and cool! The host is very kind and helpful, quick to answer if you have any doubt or f you need any information. I definitely recommend the place and will get back here if I'll return to D.C.!

Had all the basics someone needs at a fantastic rate and great location. Host is nice and very helpful/responsive. Cons: can be a bit unnerving that the apartment is unlocked all the time and you can't lock your room either if someone needs to get in and sleep.

I felt home, just with some roommates, who where really nice by the way!!! The place is really close to the subway station, I totally recommend it.

Morgan's place is a very well located apartment close to the metro and to other great places. He was very open to all the questions I had and always gave me great recommendations on what to do during my visit to DC. The apartment itself was very clean, spacious and cozy. Morgan is an excellent host and I definitely recommend his place to anyone looking for an Airbnb in DC.

Great place and great location. It’s clear why Morgan is considered a Superhost!

It was a great experience!

Morgan is gracious and very accomodating...you feel like he'd give you his shoes and short off his back if you needed it! Great place!

We had a perfect stay in Meseret's apartment : recent, clean, good equipement and well located close to the station, subway and museums. We loved the neighborhood : quiet, nice, family-friendly. Excellent communication with Meseret, she has also left a box of pastries when we arrived. Definitly recommended !

Great place to stay! Very spacious inside with everything you need! Great location to all the sights!

Family friendly, great location-walking distance to H St and Union Station. If we had any questions or concerns, Mesert answered them right away!

Meseret's accommodation was exactly as described. It was in a good location with easy access to the metro system. Although we didn't meet Meseret she responded quickly to any questions and was very willing to do everything she could to make our stay pleasurable.

Our stay at Meseret and Sam's basement apartment was great! The space is very nice and it was clean and tidy. We did not cook in the apartment but it looked like it had everything needed for that. Even though it is a basement apartment, it was mostly quiet. The place is at a walking distance of amazing bars and restaurants and the Union Market is really close, which we loved discovering. An Uber ride to the National Mall (starting at the Lincoln Memorial) was only $11. The host provided us with a parking pass which was great because we didn't want to take the car with us all the time, and even though the area is busy for parking, we never had trouble finding a place. Overall, we recommend this place and would definitely stay there again in the future.

Nice apartment in walking distance to most of the sightseeing highlights. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Great Place!

I have nothing but pure praise for Meserets place, it's exactly as described, quite stylish, I'ma really great location and squeaky clean.

Yana was great and very responsive which made checking in a great and simple experience for my first time using Air B&B. The place was right in the heart of U street which was awesome. Overall a great stay.

Alessia was very prompt when responding to any questions and concerns that I had, often times getting back to me within minutes. She provided very clear directions with photographs to the location of the apartment and my guest and I had no trouble finding it. The only problem was the gate that ran in the alley way between a restaurant and the apartment was locked for the duration of our stay so we had to walk around the long way to get the apartment. Going this way takes you behind an apartment building next to a playground---which sounds sketchy but my guest nor I ever felt unsafe on our many trips coming and going...one night not getting home until 1AM. The location was amazing, we were literally in the middle of a bustling area with many fantastic options for things to do and places to eat/drink. The metro is across the street right next to a Starbucks, which made getting my caffeine fix very easy. The apartment was clean and everything was very easy to find. We only used the microwave and the washer/dryer and they worked fine. However, a few things stood out to me that I feel other renters should be aware of: 1) Not sure if it is because this apartment is an "English basement" and below street level but the smell was very musty/mildew-y. It wasn't bad enough for us to leave, but we both are bothered by allergies and experienced some sneezing and scratchy throats after a sleep. If you have moderate to severe allergies, you may want to steer clear or take into consideration. 2) Also, while the listening says AC, that does not mean it is central air. I feel like that should have been pointed out in the original listing, as D.C. gets VERY hot and air conditioning is a must. I probably would have skipped over this listing if I knew it didn't have central air. However, it wasn't a huge deal in the end but be aware. The only way to cool the apartment was with fans. My guest had to literally place the fan right next to the bed, blowing directly on her to get a decent nights sleep. I slept in the bedroom with a fan on high as well. 3) I am not a TV watcher, but my guest was disappointed that the only way to watch TV was to bring your own laptop and plug it in using the cables that were provided. This was not clear in the listing description. Overall, our experience was good, despite the comments above. That said, I probably wouldn't stay here again, but it was acceptable for our trip.

Yana was excellent with communication during our stay. Her place was super cute and very clean. The neighborhood also had so much to offer as far as nightlife, restaurants and live music. Will definitely stay again.

Yana was an excellent host! She checked in (email/text) throughout the weekend to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. The space is cozy and relaxing--just what was needed after long days in the city. The location is fantastic! You are steps away from eateries, nightlife and the Metro.

Very easy to find, great spot in the city, Yana was extremely communicative, and we had everything we needed.

Yana's basement was just as described: cute and comfortable. She was pleasant to work with, and we had minimal interaction with her during our trip (which we actually prefer). The location was steps away the metro, and I was delighted to have a Dunkin Donuts around the corner for breakfast. The neighborhood is bustling (as described), but I was glad to have a friend to walk with at night. I don't think I would want to walk alone there after dark.

Overall the place was fine, for anyone who will not be spending much time there and who can deal with some inconveniences. The apartment is much smaller, messier than it looks in the photos. There was no spare bedding, one of the beds was even missing sheets. The apartment smelled musty, and the only heat came from space heaters. The outlets stopped working when we plugged heaters in. Not only did we go without heat the first night but we had no place to charge all of our electronics overnight which delayed our plans the following day. Host fixed the electric the following day but we slept in our coats to stay warm on the first night. Never apologized for the inconvenience.

2/10: Would definitely NOT recommend. Positives: +1: location +1: price Negatives: -1: host was not proactive. I had to contact the host 3 days prior to arrival to ask for access details. The booking was made several weeks in advance. -1: to access the unit, you must walk through an alley in a neighbourhood full of homeless people. My girl friend was terrified. -1: mold on the front door. -1: mold on the bathroom ceiling and shower curtain. -1: the whole basement smelled of mold/mill dew -1: the bedding was definitely not cleaned before I arrived. It smelled as if it was left in overnight in a washing machine, same with the towels provided. -1: the smoke alarm was removed (serious crime in Canada)

Alan's clear and thorough communications combined with the chic, clean and comfortable apartment made us feel immediately welcome and at home. The take-a-bottle/leave-a-bottle wine didn't hurt, either. ;) Within minutes of arrival we had the fireplace aglow (it was cool and rainy outside, but we were cozy), and were happy to find the heated towel racks and warm floor in the bathroom...small luxuries. The neighbourhood is a nice combination of laid-back and trendy...it's obviously on the upswing, which has attracted lots of restaurants - making it easy to find places to dine in almost any style. Add to all that the proximity to the Metro...well...it's a super place to be.

Alan has a beautiful place that is within a 10 minute proximity to all of the monuments and museums in DC. The unit is located in the basement of what appears to be a two story attached townhouse. It has been recently remodeled with all amenities included...full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, living room with TV and fireplace, fully remodeled bath, and one bedroom with TV. It is tastefully decorated and maintained very clean. My only complaint is the lack of available parking. Unfortunately, street parking is the only option and it's usually taken by others who live in the neighborhood. This can be frustrating if you have a car. Other than the above mentioned hiccup, I highly recommend staying at Alan's place. You won't regret it.

Great location for a trip to Washington. Well equipped apartment with all you need for a few days away. Alan was very helpful and answered all of our questions promptly

Our stay was AWESOME! Me and several of my girlfriends spent a weekend in D.C. There was some unexpected snow and the fireplace kept us so warm and toasty. Alan was very attentive to every question we had. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking. It was a great area to stay. Close to everything. Can't wait to come again!

The apartment is exactly as indicated in the description. Extremely clean and comfortable. The AC generation unit is in a small room adjacent to the bedroom, therefore during the night it is quite loud. The host provided us with all the infos and the support we needed. Although the apartment is not in a very central position, it is easy to reach the main attraction of the city.

Allen’s place is stylish and well equipped in an absolutely perfect location. We were in town for a couple events at Capital One Arena, it’s an easy 1 mile walk away. The heated towel bar was a nice touch and we appreciated having lots of coffee.

Awesome place! Will return if available upon future trips. Alan is prompt and immediately responds. Highly recommend his place if you can find it available.

Alan is an incredibly accommodating and thoughtful host. He has very carefully thought out how to make his guests feel welcome in his home. I would definitely come back to stay in this place again in a heartbeat.

My first ever Airbnb stay was Kevin's home in Washington DC. I chose Kevin's Airbnb after reading the positive reviews and the status he has as a superhost. It certainly lived up to the credentials. The entire home was really neat and tidy. The pillows, bedsheets and towels were white and clean. The attached toilet comes with a unique faucet and one touch WC flush system. Dr. Kevin is meticulous right down to the fine details of what a visitor to DC wants and needs. The brochures of DC tourism are all in place in my room with 2 bottles of water, a welcoming sight. We feel very comfortable with neighbourhood. Many eateries are available within walking vicinity. I would regard Kevin as an ambassador to DC tourism too. My maiden Airbnb stay tuned out to be wonderful and memorable one. Look no further for a great stay in Washington DC.

I absolutely loved my stay with Kevin! His home was quaint, quiet, and comfortable while also being very close to fantastic restaurants and cafes (may favorite spot for the week was Big Bear Cafe!- I was in town for a conference so the patio at BigBear was the perfect place to get some work done between meetings while having a nice iced coffee or cocktail). Kevin was extremely accommodating and provided many recommendations for things to do. He also was very responsive to any questions I had about his home or the area. Highly recommended! If you are looking for a place in DC, please consider staying with Kevin. You won't regret it!

AMAZING!! I can't describe how smooth and easy Kevin made this for me. This place is a MUST to book, close to public transpiration and local restaurants. You can't go wrong if you pick Kevin!

Kevin was one of the greatest host i’ve ever met! The room was perfect, extremely clean and cozy! The neighborhood was also nice and generally speaking he provide us everything we need during our staying. A+++

Kevin was a terrific host, and the room was exactly what I needed. Thank you, Kevin!

Kevin was an extremely gracious and communicative host. His residence was prestige and you could tell he takes pride not only in his home but in his responsiveness and host reputation. A 5 star stay for us for sure!

Kevin's place was extremely clean; located in a nice safe neighborhood; and perfect for our stay!

This was one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at. Super close to everything and free parking!?!!! Bed is comfy and the place is clean and amazing. Kevin is super responsive with any questions or requests. Cool neighborhood and can walk to a lot of bars.

Super clean, super cute! In a great spot to get anywhere quickly, as long as you account for DC traffic!

Great stay. The entire process was easy. Thanks for hosting!

The cabin was a real delight and Ken was so welcoming and helpful. We had loads of questions which were replied promptly. The bed was so comfortable and the place was well situated. We had a lovely time staying at the cosy cabin.

We had a wonderful weekend in DC. The 'cabin' is perfect! Well equipped and clean. Ken and Nicole were extremely accommodating hosts that let us leave our bags early in their basement and provided clear instructions on getting there and around town. We ended up walking into DC every time since they're just a 40 minute walk from the Capitol. If we're ever back in town it will be at the cabin again!

Mr. and Mrs. Ken came to give us welcome, as we so quiet, everything was as we had envisioned, Mr. Ken's home was in a top neighborhood and very quiet !! the center was already there, very good ... we advised !! Thank you Mr. KEN

Cozy, clean and adorable. Ken and Nicole are absolutely lovely hosts, and I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in D.C.!

We had a very comfortable stay in Ken's cabin which had everything we could have wanted at the end of long days of sightseeing. The cabin is cleverly fitted out to make it as spacious as possible and it feels very private. We were there for a few hot days and the air con worked perfectly. Comfortable bed, good shower and a good range of kitchen facilities made this space work very well. Ken made us feel welcome and answered all our questions of familiarisation and it was good to know that he was close by if needed. We liked living with the locals rather than the tourists and to be in such an attractive neighbourhood. Ken responded promptly to all my emails which was appreciated. The baggage storage was very helpful. Highly recommended.

Me and my wife spent two nights in Ken's cabin and everything was perfect. The location is great, we felt it very safe, a familiar area with beautiful cherry trees, only few steps from a city bike renatal point, which is the best transport in DC. The Capitolium is only 7-8 minutes far by easy bike or fifteen minutes by walk. The cabin is well equipped, very clean and Ken and his family were very kind and helpful! All in all it is a perefect place for two people and Washington DC is a lovely city! We wish to come back!

He is a great host! I enjoyed my stay!

Everything was ok except that we couldn’t look the front door of the apartment.

Perfect place for a couple to stay ! Loved the bathroom/shower . Bed was comfy . Easy street parking. Thanks for everything !

We had a nice experience. The apartment was stylish and cozy and had a really nice bathroom. The location was okay, there was transportation in area to help get you deeper into the city. He has a dog and let us pet and play with him when we first checked in. He is a very hospitable host and accommodating to anything you need.

Hamzah has a great basement with everything you need and the nearby dcstreetcar-station (the ride is for free) brings you very quick to the Union Station to the heart of Washington DC.

Very tidy and lovely AirBnB apartment equipped with everything you need. A good bed and nice bathroom. Hamzah is a great host and there when you need him. I had a great stay!

Hamzah is so kind and very thoughtful! I would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Hamzah and his dog were great hosts. The apartment had everything we needed and was decorated very nice. My husband did find the bed a bit uncomfortable but that is subjective and he also ran a 50K race so he might have just been sore. We would recommend this location and definitely stay again!

Amazing experience ! Our trip to DC was fabulous, Kevin's apartment is just perfect! everything is clean, beautiful and tastefully done! It's very well positioned and easily accessible by bus to visit the main monuments of DC! Kevin again thank you for this experience ! It was really easy to communicate with Kevin . I fell in love decorating your house and I will inspire me for mine :). ps: I hope you liked the French specialties that we left you. Notre voyage à DC a été fabuleux , l'appartement de Kevin est tout simplement parfait ! tout est propre , beau et fait avec goût ! Il est très bien placé et accessible en bus très facilement pour visiter les principaux monuments de DC ! encore merci Kevin pour cette expérience ! Il a été très simple de communiquer avec Kevin. Je suis tombé amoureux de la décoration de ton appartement et je vais m'en inspirer pour le miens :) ps : j'espère que tu as aimé les spécialités françaises que nous t'avons laissées .

The place was very clean and nice and the host is very efficient at communicating. Highly recommended.

Kevin's place is even more beautiful in person! Incredibly clean and well decorated. Kevin was always quick to respond to questions, and also had plenty of guides and printed literature of what to see in the area. Would definitely stay here again!

You will not regret this Airbnb choice! Beautiful space, comfortable bed and couch is comfortable enough for a second/third person to sleep on 3 nights in a row, and lovely hospitality touches with sparkling water waiting for us upon arrival, and mini water bottles on the night stands (and even a pair of cold beers in the fridge!), full sized toiletries provided in shower, plus a hair dryer. Walking distance to The Pub & The People restaurants/bar a few block away — don’t miss it!! Average Uber ride from this home to downtown ~$8-9. Also provided metro cards & maps. Super accommodating to our travel plans for check out. Highly recommend.

My husband and I recently stayed at Kevin's place for a holiday. It was absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully appointed. It was private, quiet, very comfortable. But it was also conveniently located in an up and coming part of Washington DC and easily accessible to great dining and shopping as well as the sites of DC. Kevin makes everything easy and has lots of great recommendations .

This was such a cute basement apartment that was easy to find with Kevin's instructions. We loved the space and Kevin was open about everything to expect! Location was perfect!

Beautiful place. Good neighborhood. Felt right at home.

The apartment is really lovely and had some lovely furnishings. You will feel very relaxed and comfortable here. Another plus is that the host provides bottled water for his guests. The value is very good, however you may need to get a couple taxis when you are staying there so bear that in mind. Overall I would definitely recommend.

Super snug but awesome. Comfortable bed.

Robs place was wonderful. It was down an alley but we felt safe walking there. The bed was extra comfy. We didn’t hear any of the regular city noises. Rob was very quick to respond and was very helpful. I would definetly spend the weekend here again.

Such a cool space. We plan to stay again. Rob was great at responding quickly and left a folder full of tips and information about local places. There was chocolate and two bottles of water waiting for us when we arrived. Also there will be coffee and mugs in the room.

Great place! Short way to the metro and nice neighbourhood.

I loved staying at the hideaway! Such cute a thoughtful touches in a nice cozy space. Would definitely recommend for people to stay here!

Rob's place was nice. Good location, very hospitable and responsive host, and a good value. We had some difficulties with the door while checking in but Rob was quick to assist us. The place itself felt a bit smaller than the pictures looked, but we spent all our time exploring the very nice surrounding neighborhood and the rest of the city, so we didn't spend much time in the room anyway. Overall, it was a good stay.

Where do we start?? Rob's place is a true hideaway. Tucked in the perfect nook, great for any couple or single traveler. The place is just steps from the metro and comes stocked with snacks, coffee, dishes, and decorated with the perfect touch of neat collectibles and books. Rob was so friendly and helpful, easy to communicate with, and all around the best host we've encountered. We WILL be back. Anybody would love it!

Rob's place was the perfect home base for our short but very busy trip to DC. The room is small but very cozy, and it is cuter than it comes across through the pictures. Though there is no kitchen the coffee make, fridge and microwave were perfect for our needs. The location is a little far away from the more happening areas of the city, but despite the biting cold of east coast winter we still managed to walk to most of our destinations. If walking is not your pace the place is very close to a metro stop which will get you where you want to go. Check in was very easy and Rob's instructions and recommendations were very thorough. Overall our stay was very pleasant, only a better mattress would have improved on our experience.

Gemma Rocks!! Great location, clean, easy to get everywhere we wanted to go in DC. One Blick away from Capitol bike share kiosk & always Uber /Lyft close by. Gemma is a Very responsive and accommodating host - incoming flight was delayed 6 hours so our arrival was very late- lockbox set up worked great. Fantastic coffee place in Alley behind. Safe convenient location.

This place is your home away from home in the heart of DC. The location is convenient, and Gemma is thoughtful and helpful during your stay!

I have spent 10 days at Gemma's place. Everything was great! The apartment is big, clean and well-equipped. The location is perfect. You can walk to many of the main tourist attractions. If you need the metro, there is a metro station just a minute walk away from the apartment. Gemma is a great host! When help was needed, she was always quick to respond.

We attended an event at the convention center, and this place was very convenient for it - you step outside and you are looking right at the building, easy walking distance! At night the streets are very well lit and you feel safe walking around. The apartment itself was more spacious than we expected and has a great kitchen. Gemma is a great host. Definitely recommend!

Convention Center Winner! Super convenient for conference attendees, yet equidistant to awesome downtown attractions and thriving neighborhoods. So much to see and do within a fifteen minute walk. And Gemma is a great host. So many little thoughtful touches really helps this apt feel like a home. I can’t recommended it more highly!

Great home away from home! Everything was just around the corner, we saved a lot of money on transportation because of that... and Gemma was always available to help you out. I would stay again definitely!

Gemma was prompt with any questions I had. The location is perfect for catching the Metro to many destinations in DC. EVerything was as described. To our surprise, there was even a washer and dryer. Thank you, Gemma, for making our stay so pleasant.

Staying at Gemma’s was a real breeze. The spce was clean, beautiful and best of all centrally located to everything in dc

I definitely enjoyed my time at this AirBnB. I used to live in DC and it felt like I was back at home in my old neighborhood. The apartment is perfect size for 1 or two people. The Apple TV was a cool (and unexpected) bonus to the living room and the wi-fi was very reliable. I also enjoyed how centrally located the space is.

Mayra's place is awesome! Super easy to find. Very clean! Washer and dryer right outside the door to the apartment that are coin operated. Large bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Great find!

The host canceled this reservation 58 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great place.

All the basics you would need. Very central location. Easy check in and out

Location is really great. This place is very close to Logan Circle and the 14th St. corridor. Whole Foods is in less than 10 mins walking distance, and you can easily walk to National Mall (25 mins) or to Georgetown (35~40 mins) when the weather is nice. While there, I pretty much walk to everywhere. The place itself is as described, and Mayra was accommodating with my early check-in time. It is unfortunate that there was some uninvited insects issues during my stay, possibly due to the coming of spring season. To her credit, Mayra was prompt in her communication and efforts to address the issue asap. DC is in full blossom, and Mayra's place is well-situated to explore DC in all its glory.

The place was in a perfect location. Plenty of things to see and do. Perfect for short trips to DC. Mayra was very easy to communicate with.

The location could not be better, and there is a delicious pizza place just doors down with tantalizing late-night sandwiches and anything you could need on a rainy night that you don't feel like venturing out of the house!

-perfect central location -great value, fair priced and exactly as pictured -responsive and helpful host -highly recommend!!

Jonah's flat is in a nice neighbourhood, 10-15 minutes walk to the metro Columbia Heights. The area is nice and it feels safe. The apartment at first sight is a bit empty and cold, probably due to the old furniture, but that is also what makes it charming. Everything is sparkling clean: the floor, the bathroom, the bedsheets. The bed is comfy. Jonah is very responsive and helpful, communication was impeccabile from the beginning to the end. If I come back to DC, I would definitely stay again.

Excellent communication, and easy check in process.

Jonah’s house was clean and full of considerate touches. Communicate was clear and the area felt safe. Everything was great. I definitely recommend staying at his place. Just one thing, it was hard to find a parking space when we arrived late night after midnight. So it would be better to park early ahead.

I had a great time! The Bedroom and everything was clean and comfortable!

Stress-free stay in DC. Jonah gave us a ton of privacy but was available for help whenever needed. Great communication and clean, comfortable space. Would stay here again!

Very cozy stay and truly recommend it

Great place to stay! Jonah was very communicative with instructions prior to coming and the room was cozy and clean.

David’s stay was great just the right space to sleep before you go to the airport! I was impressed with the nice space.

Great place to stay especially if you’re on a budget. Very close to the metro stop.

I had a brilliant stay at David’s. Check-in was very easy, the place was squeaky clean and very comfortable. Metro station was about an 8-minute walk away but I didn’t mind at all. Overall a perfect stay.

I don’t recommend this place ! It’s cheap. But it’s like a black neighborhood. A lot of wired people idle around. Creepy. I even saw one crazy black guy yelling in public naked with his **in front of some white girl ! Also more interesting ! After I checked out I left my bag there ! When I went back i saw the room was ready for next guest ! But the bed the quilt cover are NOT changed for new guest ! So terrible ! It’s cheap. But lack of hygiene ! If you have better choose ! Avoid this !

The room is perfect with a separate entrance and bathroom attached. Davis was great about being available for anything I needed. The room was just what I needed to support my stay while working in DC.

The best deal for cheap staying in DC. I truly recommend!

good bed and private toilet. David is very nice and he suggested me a lot of place to visit. Probably it is first floor (not basement) and his family live in second floor. widely, clean, and I like tabel power outlet. Cheap price and no cleaning fee so I can afford for a life in DC easier

David's place was great! Very comfortable and convenient location. Great place to stay in DC.

Giuseppe and Carla's home is a wonderful place to stay, especially if you're working or playing near the red line. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the Cleveland Park metro. The neighborhood, including this home, is quiet and beautiful. The only reason I didn't give a fifth star is that the family tended to stay up late - while they weren't impolite or obnoxious in any way, I could hear their conversations well into the night. This was a very minor inconvenience for the great space, location, and overall value.

Our family of four had a great stay! Our hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Any questions we had were quickly answered and the home itself was very clean and well equipped. The location was perfect for a trip to the zoo and museums. Our boys, 6 and 7, loved all the toys available to them. They played foosball and ping pong each day. We’d definitely recommend staying here on your next trip to DC.

Close enough to a Red Line metro stop. Plenty of space for multiple travelers and/or a family of 4 or 5. Hosts were really great at checking in periodically to make sure we had everything we needed!

Hosts are great, spectacular location with parking and a wonderful living space.

This is a great space in a beautiful neighborhood. Carla and Giuseppe were gracious hosts. It was the perfect place to stay during my short DC vacation, and I will definitely be recommending their space to others.

This house is fantastic, very big, beautiful and cozy. Close to Metro station, located in a quiet community. Carla and Giuseppe are extremely warm, nice and helpful. We definitely recommend this house to anyone who want a place to stay in DC

Fun stay for small (and big!) kids and convenient for groups. Good location, friendly host.

I love this apartment, it is lovely, the hostess is friendly. it is so clean and convenient. you can find a Giant Market walking only 15 minute, and Metro is nearby.

Great place, very nice host!

kitchen cabinets were a little bit greasy. We had only one towel for two persons and there were not enough trash bags and no dishes soap. The bed is broken and one side is completely useless. The lock for the door is too cheap for a apartement in a basement.

Really magnificent stay – host who went out of the way to be welcoming, easy to interact with, and extremely attentive. Next time I am in the area I will definitely stay here. 5/5 would recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful space in a fantastic location! Great value, walkable to everything. The apartment is beautiful with lots of light, a spiral staircase leading to the romantic life and plenty of space for laundry and living.

Amazing location!!! You can’t beat it. It’s a great price for the location! I stayed there for 2 and a half months. It had all I need it. It has a washer and dryer, which help a lot! I think it can easily fit 2 people, as there is a bedroom downstairs, which I never used. Has a tv with Apple TV and good internet connection. I am Actually staying in January here too. Thanks mayra!

Communication and accuracy were great. Mayra was extremely communicative and even allowed me to extend my stay at the last minute. The one thing to note is that there were a few roaches, weird bugs, and a bit of dust coming out of the vents. Outside of that I would say4.5/5! Would stay here again.

If I could give a 0 for cleanliness I would. The only way I would guess the place had been cleaned was that the cleaning supplies were left out. We were pretty sure there is also bed bugs. To make the place bearable I bought my own sheets and towels. Sheets provided were stained and did not look clean. The bed itself was broken, with a huge dip in one side of the bed. The place was Infested with cockroaches and flies. It smelt horrible. The air filter was disgusting. Much more worn then the photos. Only reason we stayed was because of an internship and the difficulty with finding other housing options at that point. There is no way to remedy the cleanliness except by gutting it! Only problem with location was drug users shooting up on our porch. So if you dont mind drug users and a filthy place then you should be fine.

The location is superb! The stairs can be a little tricky and there wasn't an airbed or similar in the second room, meaning a large amount of space went unused. Kitchen was really useful, but lacked a microwave or toaster. Space is cozy and the bed in comfy. I'd bring an eye mask as the streetlight through the window is very bright. Had some really unfortunate pest problems that took longer than I would have hoped to resolve. I was there for three months and only two weeks were affected.

A great place to stay. Location is nice and quiet but only a quick trip on the bus to sites. Never got to meet Eli but he left easy instructions for check in and check out as well as tips on local restaurants and shops. Very helpful.

Great location. Eli was a great host! He gave great recommendations and travel advice. The place was neat and cute. It can be a little cramped but it is fine for a quick stay in DC.

A nice home base for exploring DC.

Really cute and stylish little space! Eli was out of town during our stay, but he's a fantastic host - very communicative, friendly, and helpful to answer any questions we had about our trip. Check-in was very smooth. I would just note (you can see this in the listing, and Eli was upfront and clear about this as well) is that the space doesn't currently have a microwave. But there are lots of good eats in the area, and my friend and I were fine without one. Thank you for a great stay!

.

Eli’s place was exactly what I hoped for—an awesome rowhouse bnb in a eclectic neighborhood. My visit to DC was partial work and holiday, but staying with Eli made it seem like I was staying with a friend of a friend! I will definitely stay again if I have the opportunity.

A wonderful place! will definitely stay again.

I had an excellent stay at Eli's, I would recommend it.

Gustavo’s place is a hidden gem. He’s a one in a million host and will not disappoint.

Gustavo’s place was super great! Recommended to us by friends that stayed there, the place was just as described! Super stylish! Gave us a feel of vacation while still being homey!

Don’t look any further! Very clean, private bath, seamless check-in. He’ll even provide you with a metro pass and chocolate!

Finding Gustavo’s home was super easy, via google maps. He allowed us to check in a little bit early, which was super nice! He left us metro cards that we could add fare to. This was super thoughtful! We didn’t use it, but having a laptop in the room to use, would be super helpful to plan any tours or reservations. The metro is about .7 miles from the house. We used both Uber and the metro and they were seamless! Everything was great during our stay.

Gustavo was a very welcoming host and provided a friendly atmosphere during our visit. He maintains super clean and comfortable home.

Nice, cozy place. Gustavo and Andy are amazing hosts :)

Very nice dude with a very friendly dog!

Gustavo's place was fantastic! Absolutely better than I expected. This was a my first solo trip and staying at Gustavo's place made it worthwhile. I am thankful for the thoughtful touches to the room. I learned a lot of tea, despite not making any, and had the chance to see Gustavo's lovely dog. If I return to D.C. and Gustavo's home is available, I will return. I could not say anything negative about my stay and gladly rated this Airbnb a 5 star home!

The room was very cosy and comfortable, and the host was accommodating. Metro was slightly further away but there was a free streetcar that can get you there. Overall, great stay!

I totally recommend going to this place. Gary's parents hosted us for 2 days and it was a great experience. They let us leave the luggage before checking in, and when we went back to the apartment the luggage was already in our room! Gary's parents were always very warm and welcoming, giving us information on how to get to downtown, which transports to use, etc. Also, they provide coffee and tea for breakfast, which is great! Overall, a great experience which we will repeat if we ever go back to Washington!

Gary and his parents were very welcoming and extremely helpful in making the stay as smooth and comfortable as possible. They explained the area, transportation, and amenities (with some great recommendations in the local area). It made the transition to DC very easy.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Gary’s. We felt it was a clean and safe spot for a good value. Gary was very responsive and his parents were very sweet. It was also nice that there was free off the street parking. Being from out of town we were a little taken back by the surrounding neighborhood but like I said, we felt it was a safe spot. The AC window unit was a nice touch though it switching on and off did keep us up some at night given the temperature swings.

Okay..

We had a great time at Washington the place was nice as well as Gary’s parents!

Very welcoming family. Value is pretty good compared to some of the hotels in the area

Thanks Gary for the nice accommodation! The house is clean, large and comfortable, and it's so considerate for Gary to offer travel tips inside the room. The house is not far from sightseeing sites. My boyfriend and I took uber conveniently, and since the room is cheap, we still saved lots of money. I also loved the well-equipped kitchen. Besides, the little dog is very very cute! Overall, this is a perfect place to stay if you are planning a short trip to DC!

Eric is a great host and very communicative, definitely suggest him if staying in DC.

The description doesn't lie when it says close to a metro station. There is also plenty of good food within walking distance, even the zoo is a 35-40 walk from the house. I spent most of my time out in DC and getting back to Eric's place was always easy. It was always comfortable when we got back, plenty of room to unpack and lay clothes out, a large fridge for leftovers, and some controllable heaters/air conditioners.

Eric’s place is very well located, it’s easy to get around and the apartment is comfortable. Definitely recommend staying there.

The communication with Eric was very easy and accurate. I like the room being spacy, so I could move around: more like a living space instead of a hotel room. It worked for me very well, being out all day. There is not too much day ligth. I liked it being cool in the hot summer weeks. There is enough information available about the city and how to go around. Public transport is really near by and comfortable. Walking to the city center is a possibility as well.

There was no communication from the start with Eric after booking the property. On arrival we still had not heard a response. We had tried to contact Eric multiple times to check in but we could not reach him, which was not an ideal start with all our luggage in an area that did not look entirely safe after an exhausting day traveling in the heat. There was no instructions left for entering the property and only hearing back from Eric at 7pm that night is not exactly what he had expected from our host. Property was fine for our 2 night stay but a lot of noise transfers downstairs including footsteps. Eric had left a couple of areas recommended on the fridge which were decent for food.

Eric was a very welcoming host. The apartment is very cute with lots of space. It is really concienent to the metro. Will defiantely be booking with Eric again, when I return to DC. About the Apartment: It is a basement apartment, so nice and cool during the DC humid summer. The space was clean and reflected exactly what it looks like in photos. Also - the space is fully stocked (towels, shampoo, conditioner, blankets, and all kitchen needs). It is an older house so important to know that you can hear the street noise when lying in bed (as the bed is next to the door/street wall). For people who are light sleepers this might be a problem, but I didn't have an issue sleeping. The Bed is a firmer bed. All in All - I would totally recommend this apartment!! Thanks Eric.

I enjoyed staying at Eric's apartment. He communicated well and was extremely nice with us. I give him five stars because the location was convenient, the internet was fast, the shower was hot and the bed was comfy.

Having spent a few days in a tiny room in NYC the first thing I noticed about this accommodation was how much space there was. It's massive. And only a few minutes walk to the subway, and some shops, places to eat and drink. It was very easy to get in and out- particularly helpful for our early departure- and communication with the host was easy. As you'd imagine in a basement apartment there's little natural light but that didn't bother us. The pictures and write up are accurate descriptions of the place.

Diane is really great! She is so helpful. On my first day here she took me around showing me all the near by supermarkets, bus stations and metro. The room was perfectly furnished with all the things I need. It really made me feel like home.

Diane's place is great! She's really nice and knows a lot about the area. The neighborhood is quiet. The area has several affordable restaurants and coffee shops. It's not too far from the Takoma Metro station and doesnt take long to get to other parts of DC.

Great location for a good price. Stayed for a month and really enjoyed it.

Diane is very welcoming, and is used to long term guests. She is personable and quick to respond. This home is extremely clean and Diane always took care of any issues that came up. I highly recommend this place for those looking for an extended stay.

Diane's place was perfect for what I needed. I was there for the entire summer for an internship. There was plenty of space for all my clothes and belongings, and space for me to have enough food to cook three meals a day. Because of similar schedule's, Diane was very understanding of my comings and goings, and made living there while working easy. The metro is a 10-15 walk down a road (with sidewalks) so it was a perfect way to start and end my day. The neighborhood itself was so cute and safe; there are great restaurants (a couple of which that have great bars) and the farmer's market on Sunday has a great variety and great prices. I would definitely stay here again!

In many ways, this is a great place to stay. The room is spacious, the neighbourhood is nice and quiet, and Diane is a very generous host. The only drawback is that the acoustics of the flat are a bit weird. In the living room, the TV is placed at the feet of the stairs leading upstairs, which means that when the TV is on, you can hear it from the room, behind a closed door, very much as loud as it is in the living room itself.
