FULL KITCHEN ❤️ 1,044 Sq Ft @ Old Town Alexandria
it is probably smart to call the Club Wyndham to understand the unit that you are assigned. I booked a 1bdrm and was assigned a 2bdrm (which was actually two apartments, each with 1 bdrm, kitchen, bath and living room). I never used one of the units and would have shared with a friend if I understood the layout ahead of time. great location walking distance to the blue/yellow Metro line, only a couple of stops from National Airport.

Hidden Gem in Downtown Bethesda
Annette and David were great hosts. My wife and I had a couple questions and they responded quickly and pleasantly. We had a minor key mishap and they were very understanding and helpful. The place is perfect for a couple. Easy walk to the Metro station and close to some fun eating/drinking spots in Bethesda. Overall, an excellent place to stay to explore DC.

Comfy & private - Petworth 1bd garden apartment
I stayed at Brady & Jen’s Airbnb for about three months and had a wonderful experience. They were very kind, always responsive, and made my move down to D.C. a lot easier. The apartment was kept clean and maintained well during my entire stay. I would highly recommend staying at Brady & Jen’s Airbnb if you’re looking to stay in the D.C. area!

Private room Capitol Hill's Cozy Bunks (sleep 4) 2
Place is well located, close to metro station. You can easliy get from here to all main atracttions in Washington. Moreover, place has a perfect connection with Dulles Airport. Room and bathroom were clean, kitchen is well equipped. Host is nice person. It's good place to stay!

Private Luxury Retreat Close to everything!
We were visiting for the weekend and found the place to be very nice, very private, and very clean. Something that was not expected, we had a private garage, which was really nice. Thank you, we will visit again!

Historic Herndon In-law house, kitchen. By IAD.
I was in town for a month for less than pleasant reasons, but having this space to come home to and relax every night was a blessing. The host was very communicative and made checking in a breeze. Very comfy bed!

Woodland Retreat
We had such an amazing stay at the Woodland retreat. From the instructions to get in as well as the accommodations and even the recommendations Martha had given us, everything was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again if we should return to the area. We loved the privacy as well as the scenery. If you’re looking for a nice little getaway, that’s small private and comfortable. This is absolutely for you. Thank you both again for everything.

Ingraham Alley Inn - A Quiet & Cozy Micro House
We really enjoyed our stay at Mingo’s space! Mingo was friendly, very communicative and quick to respond to any needs we had. There was a mixup with the cleaners and on arrival the space had not been cleaned after the last guest. I reached out to Mingo and he immediately had the space cleaned while we were out and refunded us for our cleaning fee. The space is cozy, has really nice natural light and had everything we needed for a great weekend! The area felt safe and was a short trip to the places we wanted to go in DC. We would come back to stay at Mingo‘s place again in the future!

Contemporary colonial cottage, close to metro, ADA
We had a great stay at this Airbnb in Rockville, MD! The location was fantastic—situated in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of shops nearby and three playgrounds within walking distance. It was ideal for both kids and adults alike. The home itself was spacious and comfortable, easily accommodating our family of five for a week. The layout provided plenty of room for everyone to relax and feel at home. As dog owners, we especially appreciated the ample space for our furry friends to run around. Although one of their dogs didn’t get along with ours, the hosts made it easy to restrict access, so it wasn’t an issue during our stay. Overall, this Airbnb offered a great combination of comfort, convenience, and family-friendly features. We’d happily stay here again!

Charming Capitol Hill Carriage House
I was in Jen's place for a month while working in the nearby Folger Shakespeare Library and had a fabulous stay. The location is absolutely amazing with very high walkability and easy connections to a host of things nearby: the Mall, Union Market, Eastern Market, H street cafes and restaurants. The space has been very thoughtfully arranged and well appointed. Jen was a communicative and positive host throughout. Would highly recommend.

The Little Wooded Casita
These hosts are the best - kind, friendly without being intrusive, and always ready to help. The property is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully appointed - lovely decor, nice bed and cozy linens, and coffee, tea, and cooking supplies in the kitchen. We are retreat guests, and this was our first visit when the weather was nice enough to sit on the deck of the bedroom. Lovely! You will not regret a stay at the Little Wooded Casita.

New Private Guest House in Historic Area & Near DC
Chris was great and really took care of everything we asked for during our stay. We will stay here again!

Villa Miza Wellness Retreat
We had such a restful and fun stay at Michele’s place! Would definitely stay again if we’re in the area.

Private guesthouse in heart of Silver Spring
Alice's place was ideal. Very clean and comfortable. We were visiting family for a week and the location allowed us to be in easy reach of them. I would highly recommend this very quiet little place to stay. It was very easy and quick to communicate with Alice.

Hillier Cottage: Private 1br + Loft
Great little place! Perfect for a couple or small family. My girls (7 and 9) loved the loft. The linens were super comfy. Toby left a bottle of wine and cookies out to welcome us. Everything you need for a stay in the DC area with great access to downtown Falls Church and into DC. Highly recommend!

Modern Cozy Silver Spring Getaway - Close to DC
We had a wonderful stay at Binyam's guest unit! Check-In was incredibly smooth and we appreciate the thoughtful touches and snacks. We would highly recommend a stay with Binyam!

Adorable Guesthouse on Historic Farm.
Beautiful place, wish I could have stayed under better personal circumstances as it is a truely wonderful little guest house.

Luxurious 1Bed Carriage House, 1.5 Blocks to Metro
I enjoyed my stay at the beautiful carriage house in the Shaw neighborhood. It was a perfect spot to work from during the day — Wi-Fi was strong and there’s a cute little office nook. And it’s close to transit for exploring DC!Chris was a welcoming and friendly host, very responsive. A few things to note: the kitchen includes a dishwasher, stove, fridge, and microwave. However it’s not outfitted for cooking full meals. There’s also construction happening directly outside — in my experience, from the hours of ~8am-5pm, inclusive of Saturday. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Beautiful New Apartment Surrounded by Nature
Very clean, well stocked, quiet, with shopping and food nearby.

Garden Suite
I really loved my stay at Farida’s place! The space was spacious, gorgeous, bright, warm, and cozy and had everything one might need for a comfortable stay. Farida truly thought of everything and I appreciated the little touches that made her place stand out from others. I absolutely loved the neighborhood and it was an easy walk to shopping and great restaurants, in addition to being super close to Rock Creek for running. Farida was incredibly friendly, responsive, and accommodating! I really enjoyed meeting her and wish we had had more time to chat! Check in and check out couldn’t have been easier. I look forward to staying at Farida’s place when I am back in the area!

Capitol Hill Carriage House
We stayed at Lauren and Ned’s place for our first trip with our 10 week old. Their place was the perfect location, family friendly area and very walkable. It was extremely clean and they were very accommodating hosts, which was what stood out to us the most. Would definitely recommend and stay here again on future visits.

Carriage House Studio in the Heart of DC
My husband and I enjoyed our stay! It was a great location and having a parking pass for the weekend was great. The space was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay!

English Basement in Renovated 110 y/o Row Home!
We loved our stay in D.C. at Austin’s place! It was perfect for my family. Plenty of room for us, very cute, looked just like the pictures. Having access to the washer and dryer was a bonus with kids. We had no problems with street parking. We would definitely stay again if we are in the D.C. area!

Spacious, Private, Capitol Hill Carriage House
This is the second time my wife and I have stayed in this Airbnb and there’s a reason we came back. Phenomenal location, it simply cannot be beat. The place is absolutely beautiful and cozy, Melinda is very kind and responsive, and getting around the city from this location is fun and easy to get around. If you’re debating where to stay, stay here end of discussion!
