Holiday rentals with a patio in Chesapeake and Ohio Canal

This was my second stay at this Airbnb, and it was just as fantastic as the first—if not better! Returning felt like coming back to a peaceful little retreat. The space remains just as charming, clean, and thoughtfully put together, with every detail designed for comfort and ease. This time around, I was able to fully enjoy the private outdoor patio, and it truly elevated the experience. Whether sipping coffee in the crisp morning air or winding down with a cocktail in the evening, it quickly became my favorite spot to relax. The hosts continue to go above and beyond—warm, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making every stay exceptional. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Still highly recommend without hesitation!

This is a great place to stay and tour the DC Metro area - provided you have a car. Most days it would take us 30 minutes to get to and from DC though if we hit rush-hour, it was as long as an hour. The space is tidy and great. My kids love the pool, though it was a little cold for me-they swam there every night. Jennifer is great to communicate if you have any needs she gets stuff done right away. Note that there is only one bathroom, which can be a pain if you have a full house of six people. The washer and dryer are small so it will take you longer if you’re used to a full size. She had all the cooking methods and appliances available. The theater room has Netflix and Amazon prime ready for you to watch a show. There is even a popcorn maker. We did not use the gym, but it was nice - comparable to a small hotel gym. Property is in the owner’s basement, so there is some sound from upstairs as identified in the listing. Host stays out of your way but is there if you need anything.

I had a great stay here! I really loved that I was able to find a place that allowed me to travel with my dog! Great location, very close to everything in DC and great places in Arlington. 10/10 recommend!

Stayed at Erin’s place for a night and wish it was longer! The room is steps away from the restaurant I met with my friends at. It is situated near all that Del Ray and the rest of Alexandria has to offer. In addition, the bed was quite comfortable and the suite itself is quite luxurious.

We loved our stay, clean place, no clutter and so much was within walking distance. All eateries recommended by Host were tried and enjoyed. We always felt safe walking around. Taxis & Ubers always available. By the way DC yellow cab was always cheaper. The only negative that might be a problem for someone is it is noisy in the early morning, wasn’t a problem for us for we always got an early start. Also as a warning, if you have a mobility issue with stairs, I would not recommend, but if not I would recommend every time. I would definitely rent again.

Jillian was welcoming and very kind, she gave me a heads up that there would be extra kids during one of the days which I appreciated. the apartment was very comfy, she has throw blankets on the couch which is rare in an Airbnb!

This was our second stay at Arsham’s place, and we can’t wait for another! This apartment is so comfortable and convenient, and Arsham is great. Highly recommend staying here!

Staying at Daniel & James’ place was an absolute delight from start to finish. The impeccably designed space is thoughtfully laid out, intentionally decorated, and organized. Every detail reflected their intentionality, making it welcoming: spotless, serene, and a perfect home base for our long weekend. We had a rough time getting there due to some street closures, but Daniel was a literal lifesaver. From the moment we reached out, he was responsive, patient, and genuinely eager to help. Between helping us navigate hiccups and our many questions along the way, we always felt supported and cared for. That level of attentiveness sets the tone for a fantastic stay. One of the many highlights was our interactions with the paw-sitively adorable Celine, who was so sweet, friendly, and clearly the unofficial welcome committee. Frankly, she nailed it!! Our group has already decided on our next visit to DC, we'd like to stay here again. Hang on, Celine, we're bringing treats!

Very comfortable and easy to communicate with Claire! Just like the photos. Extremely beautiful, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood. Couch and largest bed extremely comfortable. Loved being here. For accessibility, there's a fully paved walkway from the driveway to basement entrance, just a few wide stairs with a very solid handrail. Well lit. Bathroom is two toilet rooms adjoining a central shower room (all connected with pocket doors). You walk through the daybed room to reach the common spaces.

This home is in a very nice neighborhood tucked away and with in walking distance to UMD. There are stairs to get in and barstool height chairs. It is well furnished and very comfortable. The hosts were friendly and very helpful! I enjoyed 2 of their recommendations for dinner out! Great stay and highly recommend!

The place was great and close by anything you want to do in D.C. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Loved this place so much!! It was so clean, new towels/sheets, beautiful new bathrooms, gorgeous spacious kitchen, great location close to metros and stores, etc. Hosts were amazing as well. Let us check in early, answered all my questions, provided everything we would need like a hotel. We had the best time. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent first Airbnb experience! Space was exactly as described and impeccably clean. Located in a beautiful, secure, quiet neighborhood directly across from a park... so pleasant hearing kids playing while heading out to our car instead of typical hotel noise. Daisy and Steven were fantastic hosts, responsive, friendly, and thoughtfully checked on our comfort without being intrusive. Great amenities including off-street parking, EV charger, coffee bar, snacks, and welcome wine. Clear instructions made everything seamless. Would definitely book again - highly recommend!

This house had everything we needed for our stay. The added benefit was we could bring our small dogs. The yard was fenced so our dogs couldn’t run out. We used the park and ride at the Grosvenor station on the red line about a 15 minute ride. Patricia even left our dogs some yummy dog treats. We had an enjoyable stay!!

Wonderful place ! Beautiful and very clean! Host was easy to communicate with

What a wonderful oasis. So easy to find and yet such a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We could easily get to Alexandria, to Dulles, to The Mall, and also to local parks like Green Springs Garden. It's also very close to several restaurants, grocery stores, etc. On a warm summer evening, sitting out on the back patio for our dinner was just delightful. We even saw a fox crossing the road one evening! Whenever we had a question about anything, Jon responded within minutes. All in all, this was the perfect house in the ideal location.

This was a wonderful stay. I loved how they communicated. Very informative. I was in town for multiple events and the furthest i traveled was 12 min. The location is amazing. Compact amenities. Definitely recommend

This is a rare find and a real treat. I was visiting DC from the UK and had originally planned to stay in a hotel in downtown but as I live in a quiet English village I was worried about lack of sleep from the big city buzz. I searched for an Airbnb (as I always favour these v hotels) which highlighted safety and peace - and Celia's lovely apartment came up. This is such a fabulous place to stay in DC: very quiet and safe area, no night time noise, within 5 minutes of the metro station for a quick same-line journey to the centre, and very clean and comfortable. I loved every minute. The icing on the cake is it's such a great value. Thank you so much, Celia.

Large place, great jumping off point and close to town for my partner, my dog and myself. Very clean, and set up great to watch TV at night or work from home. And a fully operational kitchen so you don't have to eat out every night. Thank you again!

My husband and I were in Leesburg for a wedding and loved the place. It was just as described and close to everything.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, well-designed, and very comfortable — it truly felt like a home away from home. The self check-in with a simple access code was super convenient and made everything easy from the start. The location is amazing — close to all the main tourist spots in Washington, DC. We were just minutes away from the National Mall, museums, monuments, and great places to eat. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. The host was kind, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Fast Wi-Fi, comfy beds, and a quiet, safe neighborhood made the whole experience even better. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting DC and would love to stay again!

No ghosts were seen or felt despite being a civil war hospital. Super cute place! Whoever decorated it did a lovely job… those vertical stripes on the walls and all white paint make the basement apartment feel large and airy despite having only a few small windows. Host was very nice and responsive with questions.

Ben’s place is exactly as described me and my family enjoyed our stay. I felt right at home, when I’m visiting my sister in the near future I will definitely stay again.

Great apartment! Sean’s apartment is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is completely quiet at night and the bed is good. There is a good vibe in the neighbourhood and the apartment is less than five minutes from a Green Line metro station that will take you directly to the best art museums in the city. Sean and his co-hosts are very helpful and responsive. I hope to come back to Washington one day and if that happens, I will definitely try to book Sean’s apartment again. Thank you Sean, Megan and Loren for all your helpfulness and a lovely stay!
