OH!, ON THE WATER. WALK TO MUSEUMS & MONUMENTS -ON SITE PARKING

Our stay here was excellent. Nice home in a nice quiet neighborhood, yet close to Metro, Safeway, dining etc. Everything was as advertised and would “will” stay again. The owner was very helpful and easy to work with. Met all our needs well, we just wanted a place to hangout, visit family and friends, and figure out where to eat tonight! The deck, green space and view of the Washington channel were perfect. I'll easily give it five stars.

Our first trip to Washington DC was a great success; thanks to Oh! On the Water and Marcy. We loved the quiet and safe location of this townhouse. It was a very tranquil setting in a major city. We agree with previous reviews that there is a lot of air traffic noise but it never distrubed our sleep and in between; the neighbourhood was extremely quiet considering it's location. We loved being so close to the water and seeing the boats go by as we sipped wine on the terrific deck.
We were able to walk to many attractions including the Baseball stadium which my husband enjoyed and we could be at the memorials or musuems in about 10 minutes. Shopping and restaurants/bars were conviently located.
Marcy was extremely helpful from first contact and throughout our trip. Upon my inquiry, she suggested a boat cruise as an excellent way to watch the 4th of July fireworks and see Washington at night. It was a terrific suggestion and we were able to walk to the pier in under 5 minutes.
We would recommend this townhouse if your visiting Washington.

This three story townhouse is located just a few blocks from the SW Waterfront stop on the green line of the subway. It's super convenient (just one to two subway stops) to the Smithsonians, the National Mall, and the Monuments. If you're comfortable in an urban setting and mass transit, you'll have no trouble with the subway system. Or, you can walk or bike it if it's not 103 degrees out. :)

Next to the Metro station is a nice Safeway supermarket, which we made good use of. It was so nice to cook some meals in after a week of eating out. It was also nice to have separate sleeping areas for the kids and the use of a washer and dryer after spending so many nights in a hotel room! On-site parking was very convenient for us as we drove in.

The SW Waterfront area is up and coming, and I believe it will only get better as time goes by, as more people discover it. It's obvious that many people, including developers, the locals, and the local police who have a constant but unimposing presence here, are working very hard to turn this area into a safe and desirable area -- between the beautiful waterfront, approachable working class people, and its central location, what is there not to love? (In contrast, we saw a $3M condo for sale in Georgetown, that my husband commented didn't have "our" view.)

The townhouse itself was nicely rehabbed. It was clean and homey. The deck was great for evening wind downs and listening to a feisty little mockingbird that had an impressive repertoire of calls.

All in all, our unit was exactly as advertised. The only downsides: 1) the sleeper sofa wasn't all that comfortable. 2) Air traffic overhead could be loud; 3) Very low water pressure in the kitchen sink; 4) The "Woman for Obama" sign in the front, which made me LOL as I watched my husband bristle each time he passed. :)

FYI, Marcie was a great, attentive hostess and was great to deal with. I have no doubt that she'd bend over backward to solve any problem as quickly as possible.
