better than expected...

  • Submitted: May 22, 2013

i just typed something up, long and glowing, and pushed the wrong button...thus, I will make this short and sweet.

Loved the neighborhood..fun and safe to walk around in and enjoy the interesting homes.

Nice to be able to walk to the grocery store (safeway and Harris Teeter). We also walked to the Capital.

Great restaurants on 8th street...

did not realize how important it was to have the Metro station close by... make sure you do not use the paper cards as they are more expensive than the plastic "smarttrip" cards.

Worth trying to see something at Kennedy Center...can take subway to foggy bottom and then kennedy center has a shuttle to the center or you can walk over. No need to dress up as there were a variety of "outfits" when we went.

We enjoyed using the laundry facilities, watching the nice TV and listening to the stereo system (we brought our own CD's)

Larry greeted us upon arrival, gave us a map of the "hood" and suggested places to eat and see.

We are a 62 year old couple who stayed for 12 nights, and enjoyed every minute. Thank you Larry for sharing your "home"!

Great Location, Clean Apt, Exactly as Advertised.

My wife, two children, and father-in-law stayed here for a week on our visit to DC. We came there to sightsee and visit all of the DC attractions. This location is perfect, a close walk to the capitol and very close to the bus and subway.

The apartment was clean and exactly as advertised. There is a washer and dryer to use free of charge and parking on the street is available with a parking pass from the owner, Larry. (Just don't park anywhere close to a fire hydrant, the DC police will quickly write you up!....unfortunately I know)
The owner is very friendly and very helpful.

If you are staying for more than a few days, I highly recommend getting an unlimited bus pass, you have to buy these at one of the sales locations for Metro though. They do not offer them on the bus or at the machines. They are only 16 dollars per person, you will well pay for it over and over if you are going to be going sightseeing.

You will definitley get the feel of living in the big city here......this location is in a nice area of town where it is safe to walk and it is so close to everything. We had an outstanding vacation and I would definitely stay here again.

our family of 5, (2 adults, 3 teenagers) rented this apt and it was terrific. Larry, the owner couldn't have been nicer. the apt itself was clean, and easy to locate. Parking on the street was tight but he had a parking pass that we placed on our dash, parked the car nearby and left it there until we were departing. The train station is only a 5 min walk and from there, the rest of DC is at your fingertips.
As I mention in the title, it's all about location. For us, the best part of this place was there were so many choices for restaurants all within a 2 min. walk.. No chain restaurants so you get a real feel for local taste and there was a wide variety of restaurants and bars to choose from..
Great all around choice for us

Great Apartment and Conveniently Located

We are a family of four (boys 14 and 10) and we found this apartment to be just what we were looking for. The Eastern Market area is perfectly located to mostly everything you might need. The metro station is just a block away and The Capitol is only about a 10 minute walk. A major plus to this location is that there is a street lined with restaurants only a block away. We never had to go very far to find dinner plus a variety of different cuisines to please the whole family. The apartment was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, a nice TV with satellite and dvd player, and plenty of room to move around. Larry was quick to respond to my e-mails and gave us detailed information on everything we would need in order to access the apartment. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment and the area to any one who is looking for a stress free way to vacation in Washington D.C.

Our family visited DC for the 4th of July. We could not have asked for a better location. Just a few blocks from the Metro. I have to admit that the AC was a life saver with all of the heat. Larry made check-in easy. He had great maps of the area showing where the supermarket and Metro were located. If you do not have a car, this spot is great.
