First, this location is great for visiting the DC sites! It’s a 20 min drive to get there, though parking can be a beast so try to prepare ahead by finding parking garages or take the metro, which isn’t very far away. The Southern Ave Station green line was my fav, only $4.95 to park all day, free on weekends. (For newbies, make sure you read the location and check the color of the metro line or you’ll go the wrong way, like we did. :-(
Second, the rental is a three story home and we stayed in the basement level. Ceiling is lower so if your really tall (6’5” plus) it would be uncomfortable. Have to walk down stairs outside to get to the door. Entire property is fenced, parking is on the street near the gate.
It’s nice being downstairs because it stays really cool for summer, but if you get too chilly there are these sweet heaters in each bedroom and the main room. It is an older building, so don’t expect a mansion! I hate when people leave negative feedback because they didn’t get more than what was promised! This place is nice, and way better then the ‘affordable’ hotels. I’m not wealthy. This place was great for my needs!!
There are two bedrooms with queen beds in each, they are soft but comfortable, we slept great.
Not a full kitchen, but has a kitchen sink and counter, microwave, might have a toaster oven and/or electric grill ( but be sure to ask if you need these). All needed dishes and utensils are provided plus soap and sponge to clean. We stayed 6 days so this was very beneficial! Also a kuerig coffee maker with coffee. Bring spices for cooking.
There is a bar height table with four chairs. The TV is nice and big, with lots of options to sign in to. I loved the option the wash/dry my clothes!! (Get your own soap though)
My one big con for this place was the sofa/bed. I stayed here in May of 2022 and it was a dark brown couch with leather looking cushions. I’m hoping it is replaced??!!??…, but you can not use this as a bed. You can’t even comfortably sit on it… we had to put pillows on it or towels or whatever to make it tolerable. It is NOT an additional bed!!
Other than the couch our stay was great. We were comfortable, it was affordable, loved the shower/faucets, lots of hot water! Darryl was very responsive and a joy to meet. I would def recommend this place to anyone!
