Potomac Suite - 2Q/Kitchen/Priv Entry/Free Parking

4.7 out of 5 average rating, 84 reviews2 months ago

This was our second time staying at Kris’ place and it was just as lovely as the first time. The space is wonderful for what we need it for and has anything you could possibly need plus you don’t have to go far for groceries or to get to national harbor for events. Kris was very responsive and would go above and beyond to make sure we were able to feel comfortable and have what we needed! We will definitely be back again!

Mai's place is gorgeous, it matched everything I saw when booking, but the best part is when you're actually there. Nothing better than waking up and spending a few minutes looking at the pond out back while the birds chirp. I would definitely stay here again!

The place was clean, with easy street parking. Ryan is exceptionally friendly and responsive via messages. We opted to skip using public transit when going into DC (which would have been close to 1 hour each way) and relied on ubers instead, which were pretty affordable and quick.

This is a hidden gem for sure. Tucked away a bit but the views and surroundings were outstanding. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, bars and basically anything. Host was very responsive and willing to accommodate our need to drop off our bags slightly early prior to check in. Clean and rooms were nice. Great place for our group!! Highly recommend.

Really nice apartment in a great neighborhood. Comfortable rooms, kitchen and bathroom. The only thing to be aware of is the need to climb two flights of stairs. Can be a challenge for elderly people. Otherwise this is a great place to stay in Georgetown

I really travel a lot to Maryland, we were so satisfied with my family that we will no longer use hotels, we will return to this beautiful house! The experience is unforgettable and special, the house has everything you need to share such as cooking, family games, you can also make a bonfire outside and enjoy the lake and ducks and a nature full of peace! Even being in this place confirmed to my partner and I that we want many more years together and to always come to this place! Thanks to the hosts who are always looking out for you well! Jonathan, my love, if you read this, I know that we will return to this magical place. I love you and I want us to always be happy and I loved sharing it with your family❤️
