• Forest Glen

  4/5

  We really enjoyed learning about the area of Forest Glen. The house itself was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. We really appreciated the Starbucks coffee! The water was nice and hot and the water pressure was amazing. We enjoyed looking through the booksThe check in/out process was seamless. One strong recommendation I have is the mattresses and pillows in all three bedrooms need to be replaced. They were not comfortable for any of us Thank you :-)

  From the owner:
  "Hi Pattie, we're so happy you enjoyed the history of the neighborhood during your stay. However, we’re sorry to hear the mattresses and pillows didn’t meet your expectations. We understand that sleep comfort is highly personal, and we personally prefer firmer mattresses. We truly want every guest to be comfortable, so if you choose to stay with us again, we’d be more than happy to provide mattress toppers upon request to help improve your experience. 
  Thank you again for your helpful feedback; it’s always appreciated."

• Super dusty

  2/5

  There's some false advertising - the futon is unusable, disgustingly dusty. Otherwise: The kitchen and three bathrooms are pristine and nicely redone, the a/c works. Sheets and towels are clean and beds comfortable. The rest of the house has old furniture hidden by slipcovers, dusty and rugs that are dirty. The house is close to the highway and you can smell and hear it loudly outside and patio furniture is not appealing. Yuck I was glad to leave.Longer story: The property is advertised as having a useable futon, so I messaged the manager as soon as I booked the property asking for it to be made up. When we arrived it was not made up, and when unfolded the futon, a cloud of dust rose up from it. I gave it a pat and wow, dust. The floor behind the futon dusty with chips of paint from the baseboard. It had original baseboards so I wondered about lead paint chips and dust. The rug under the futon was yuck. There was a beat up dirty vacuum in the kitchen closet that I took upstairs to vacuum the futon and the area around it. When I was done my clothes, hands and hair were covered in dirt. The vacuum had no carpet or floor attachment, only the small attachment for furniture, so I don't know how they're cleaning the rugs. There were no pillows, blankets or sheets for the futon so I messaged the manager, and two maids came and made up the futon. We were only there only two nights so I let my teen sleep there but yuck, all our clothes went straight into the washing machine. Gross.

  Hi Jill, thank you for your feedback. The room in question is not advertised as a bedroom, and we're sorry to hear that you were disappointed and felt the home did not meet your expectations. In an effort to address your concerns, we provided new pillows for that space—even though it is not designated as a bedroom—in hopes of enhancing your experience. We strive to maintain transparency in our listing details and will be removing the futon from the listing to avoid any future misunderstandings. We’re committed to excellent guest experiences, as reflected in the consistent positive feedback we receive.

• Fairytale Cottage

  5/5

  We were visiting from Florida and South Carolina. The home was perfect!!! Only .8 miles from the metro station and it had so much room. We came to see the capital and the Smithsonian buildings. We had a hreat time! The owner has a booklet in the home with everything you could want to know. The kitchen and bathrooms looked like they have all been updated. The bedrooms were comfortable and had plenty of room for allbof our stuff. Across the street there is a place that looks like a castle and another that is a pagoda. It felt like a fairytale setting. Lovely home with a great owner. I would recommend stayingvhere.

  I came for an extended weekend to visit some family. The house was clean and was exactly as described. The location was perfect. I felt safe and it was close to everything we needed.
