This property is a gem. We traveled here for a reunion weekend with 3 families (6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 one year olds) and could not have asked for a better experience. The hosts were amazing, provided tons of snacks (and with toddlers, you need snacks!), tons of toys, a pack n' play and many other amenities. The location is fantastic. We could not have asked for a better spot for our chaotic, kid-filled weekend!

We had an extended family of seven people, from grandparents to grandkids, stay here for about five days. The property easily accommodated everyone and was very user friendly, with a great kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. The host Anand was a pleasure to work with through the whole process. The location in downtown DC is amazing.

What an awesome place! Great location for starters. The host was so friendly and welcoming and the home had EVERYTHING you would need or want. We’ve never stayed in a VRBO that offered so much! The coffee bar was a pleasant surprise and providing fresh creamer for us coffee addicts was super helpful! The snacks, muffins, all of it! If you forgot to pack any toiletries, they had it available. Everything was super comfortable including the beds and very clean. Highly recommended!
