DC Brick and Bloom
Loved staying at Synta's place for a quick getaway and would definitely come here again! She was super flexible from the beginning with allowing an early check in. Very easy to find and get inside the home with the keypads. Inside was spotless, the bathroom was beautiful, and the complimentary sleep masks and earplugs were so thoughtful! The metro was a quick 10 minute walk away. She also surprised us with bagels and milk for breakfast as a bonus! Such a great host, I recommend staying here!

Nature setting min. to DC, cozy & private w/ pkg
Beautifully situated in a DC area neighborhood, this home was comfy and everything out family of six needed for a trip to DC. Just a ten minute drive to park and ride at the Van Dorn Metro station. Stacey was incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs.

Studio at English Basement in Georgetown
Great place to stay in Georgetown. Place was clean and felt hospitable

Private basement suite
My parents came to Maryland for the first time to visit us and spend time with their granddaughter and they were so happy in Melissa’s place! They had everything they needed to have a comfortable and restful stay. You would barely know this is a basement unit with its spaciousness, kitchen area, living room and even sunlight through the bedroom window. Everything was immaculately clean, the bed was comfortable, and they’re within walking distance to a beautiful park. The only challenge they encountered was the step into the bathroom but we knew about that in advance thanks to Melissa’s proactive communication and transparency. Melissa was so responsive and it was a relief to me to know my parents were in a safe, clean and lovely place within walking distance of us. Now they’re excited to visit us again and stay in Melissa’s place!

Neighborhood Home near Capitol Hill Park Free, Walk to Metro
We really enjoyed our 5 day stay at Autumn's place. The neighborhood was beautiful and we enjoyed being able to walk to daily mass at the neighborhood Catholic Church, which was a real treat for us! Autumn was very responsive and accommodating to all of our questions and requests. We had groceries delivered to make breakfast a few mornings and that was really nice. Her place has all the amenities we needed for our stay. Finally, this was the easiest checkout experience we've ever had using AirBnB!

Guest suite in Hillandale
Evan’s’ place was great. It was close enough to the UMD Campus while being close to restaurants and such. We enjoyed the deck and the space.

Walk to H Street From an Upscale Apartment
Great residential area close to many restaurants/shops. Melissa gave great recommendations on where to go. The space was exceedingly well-equipped. It was a treat after a long travel day to have chilled sparkling water in the fridge and snacks on the counter. A well-stocked Keurig was also so nice to have. Melissa was responsive, helpful, and very accommodating. Very happy with our stay.

Clean Designer Apartment with All the Amenities!
I stayed in this great apartment for about 2 weeks whilst I was teaching as a guest lecturer at American University Law School. The apartment is very comfortable and quiet and has everything your need. It is located in a very nice and green neighborhood with shops and restaurants at walking distance. Samer and Denise are very responsive and kind hosts. Highly recommend!!
Self-Contained Unit with a patio

Charming & Walkable Apartment w/ Patio - Sleeps 4
Edward was one of the most proactive, responsive AirBnB stays that we've ever had. Clear instructions via text beforehand and during check out, nicely detailed book with recommendations and details about the stay in a binder inside, pristine place with everything we needed in the kitchen, and even a fun dog that made our trip even more memorable. We lucked out finding this space available and would love to come again.

Spacious 1 bed with leafy patio, near NIH & metro

Charming Lower Level Studio--Historic Capitol Hill
Very nice place! Great location! Would highly recommend!!

DC Apartment w/ Private Patio, 1 BD + Den & 1 BA
This AirBnB was enjoyed by my parents while visiting from out of town for a high school graduation. They slept great here and were pleasantly surprised by the nice atmosphere of this basement unit. They particularly appreciated the king size bed, cleanliness and comfortable set up. They were concerned about parking, but easily found parking close by and did not have to worry about being ticketed or having a pass (which is needed in other areas in the neighborhood just a few blocks closer to the metro). Our only critique was that there wasn’t a railing at the start of the steps down to the unit. This made it a bit challenging for less steady guests, particularly after a long day, when returning at night.

Shaw Urban Cottage @ Howard Metro
Excellent stay. Everything comfortable, clean and worked well. Michael was proactive, helpful and responsive.

Old Town walkout basement suite with private patio
Dana's place is exactly what you need for a peaceful stay in a beautiful safe neighborhood. Anything you need is within walking distance. Her place is exactly as advertised. Dana's communication was always on point. Qw had no issues and will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the DC area!

The Den @ Glen - 1B1B w/ kitchen and private door
It was a lovely stay in a very nice unit. It was comfortable, easily accessible, and well-maintained. The fact that we didn't have to climb down a steep set of stairs really made a difference. The location was perfect for our granddaughter's musical performance for us. We will certainly request your home next time we are in DC.

Luxurious Apartment in Capitol Hill
A great place! We felt immediate cared for when Sasha always kept us updated and answered our questions. The place was clean and amazing, we even think of copying some features at the home for our own! Cannot recommend this place enough!
Private suite rentals with a washing machine and dryer

Apartment near National Mall w/ private parking
My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at Chong’s place! It was super cute, cozy and clean. It had everything you could need and more! Chong is a great host. I would 100% recommend!

Eye-popping private studio guest suite w/ patio.
I chose this property because of its location near Long Bridge Aquatic and Fitness Center where I was competing in a swim meet. Being near the pool made it easy to participate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this property was tidy, quiet and nicely decorated. The host was very attentive any time I had a question. The location also made it easy to visit the sites in DC. I highly recommend this quaint garden unit for any stay in Arlington, VA.

Central 1BR+den, historic rowhouse; Metro 1 block
Exactly as described! Very comfortable, kitchen loaded with evertyhing you'd need, a comfortable bed, loads of towlels, and bonus - there's a washer and dryer! Not only that, but Michael has real plants in the home which make it feel cozy and warm. Outside the unit is absolutely lovely with a well manicured lawn, lots of flowers, and an active veggie garden. Made me feel right at home. :) Michael is a cool dude with kind energy. He had recommendations based on what I was telling him and gave me some history on the property - ask him about this! Defintely go to the Ethiopian restaurant he recommends too. Best one in the city IMO (and his). Perfect location for exploring the city, centrally located on a tree lined, residential street. You'll dig this place!

Private Basement Unit - Free Parking, Pet Friendly
By far, the best AirBnB experience my partner and I have ever had. There is a reason for such incredible reviews! Phillip’s attention to details was impeccable, the entire place was incredibly clean and spotless. Every room was well thought out, with quality furniture and fixtures. Upon our arrival, Philip provided us with well thought out instructions to finding our way to his place, along with a welcome note and gift. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief but relaxing stay. It is very close to all the attractions in town, and a quick walkable Starbucks just down the street. I was dreading the DC traffic, but Phillips place was perfectly situated in an area we didn’t have to deal with much traffic at all! Overall, 10/10 for our stay. We will absolutely look to book here again whenever we come back in the future. I can’t recommend his place enough. You won’t find a better place that’s clean, comfortable, and close to the main parts of town. Thanks Phillip for the lovely host!

Enchanting Garden-Level Suite
can't say enough great things! the place is beautiful and Cobun has thought of everything from a fully stocked kitchen down to the simplest toiletries you may have forgotten. Cobun has created a cozy atmosphere that easily becomes your home away from home.

Beautifully Renovated DC Row Home
It was really convenient to everything we did. We used the Metro and Amtrak to get around and the walk to union station was pretty and ft safe. We had no issues with noise and topped off the evenings at the bar 2 blocks away. The grocery store was also a short walk.

Sophisticated 1 BR Apt Alex/DelRay/Nat Landing
We had a wonderful stay at Michael and Virginia's apartment. Everything we needed was supplied and even more! Breakfast for the first morning was a lovely treat. We enjoyed exploring the delightful neighborhood of Delray. It has a wonderful neighborhood vibe that is hard to find in DC area. The location is convenient to everything. We had a car so didn't use public transport. It looked like metro wasn't too far and we saw a lot of busses. This will be our go to for future stays for sure!
