Fall Break Trip to DC

We will definetly book this place again on our next trip to DC!! It is SO close to a metro station and it was so easy to get around DC. Communication was awesome and there was also information shared on places to eat, shop, etc. We loved the house and the front yard space. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed our time outside.

Exactly what we needed

The place was very nice, clean and had a cool shuffle board that we def made use of.The beds were a bit hard for me (personal preference) and there could have been a few more essentials (salt/pepper/olive oil/dishwashing liquid or pods) Overall enjoyed our stay and would do so again more essentials

Stay in Philly

We had a very good stay! Kids enjoyed the shuffleboard. The location makes it easy to walk to all the sites of Philly. We spent a day and a half exploring the city and parked our car in a parking garage around the corner during that time. Nice, clean space. Hostswere very communicative.

Great location and lovely space

We stayed here for a long weekend. The apartment is so close to everything you won’t need to drive to any major attractions. The apartment itself is very clean, has a welcoming ambience, and we slept great every night. The host was very prompt in responding. Pro tip for stayers that come after us that are driving in - look up where to park before you get there (like garages and such). We showed up on a Friday night and, unsurprisingly, there was no street parking available. We didn’t plan ahead well enough so we drove in circles for a short time trying to figure it out.

Philly

My husband is from Philly. The location is wonderful for historical reasons. The apartment is on the third story of steep steps so it helps to be in shape. The coffee pot did not work however there’s a Starbucks at the corner. I did report it. I have trouble with the washer on some of the settings. It wasn’t getting water to it. I also reported it. Neither was repaired. We were a little upset when we left as we were contacted asking if we brought our pet stating there was pet hair “everywhere!” We did not have a pet nor did we see pet hair. We love Philadelphia

Wonderful clean apartment in a fantastic neighborhood. Our host was communicative and friendly. Worth mentioning--2 flights of steep narrow stairs to reach apartment--it was a good workout!
