DC Brick and Bloom
Loved staying at Synta's place for a quick getaway and would definitely come here again! She was super flexible from the beginning with allowing an early check in. Very easy to find and get inside the home with the keypads. Inside was spotless, the bathroom was beautiful, and the complimentary sleep masks and earplugs were so thoughtful! The metro was a quick 10 minute walk away. She also surprised us with bagels and milk for breakfast as a bonus! Such a great host, I recommend staying here!

Nature setting min. to DC, cozy & private w/ pkg
Beautifully situated in a DC area neighborhood, this home was comfy and everything out family of six needed for a trip to DC. Just a ten minute drive to park and ride at the Van Dorn Metro station. Stacey was incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs.

Studio at English Basement in Georgetown
Great place to stay in Georgetown. Place was clean and felt hospitable

Cozy Guest Basement Suite w/ Private Entrance
Everything was great. Love the fact that it was only a 10min drive to the pool where my water polo tournament was held. I got lucky almost every night with parking, which was in front. One day I had to park around the corner but it wasn’t a far walk at all. They gave me places to eat and drink which worked out when I met an HS friend. Communication was great. Every other day or so they would check on me to see if I needed something, not in person but through messages. Which was great. Tv was loaded with apps, all you needed was you sign in info. Will totally rent from them again.

Cool Columbia Heights Garden Apt.
Big shoutout to Joel and his space! Joel welcomed us to the Airbnb, gave us crystal clear instructions on how to get in and out, and showered us with a ton of neighborhood recommendations. The space itself was a great reminder that not all modern AirBnbs need to be soulless gray boxes. We had a great time reveling in all the kitsch. Lots of communication and flexible checkin/checkout times were a bonus. Thanks Joel!

1 BR Apartment in Chevy Chase
The place was amazing, me and my girlfriend stayed for a week and loved every moment of it. The place was quiet and felt like our own apartment throughout the entire stay. The drive to dc was longer than expected (30-40 minutes) but that comes with city traffic of course. Over all an amazing stay and would 100% recommend if you are ok with paying for parking in dc.

Private basement suite
My parents came to Maryland for the first time to visit us and spend time with their granddaughter and they were so happy in Melissa’s place! They had everything they needed to have a comfortable and restful stay. You would barely know this is a basement unit with its spaciousness, kitchen area, living room and even sunlight through the bedroom window. Everything was immaculately clean, the bed was comfortable, and they’re within walking distance to a beautiful park. The only challenge they encountered was the step into the bathroom but we knew about that in advance thanks to Melissa’s proactive communication and transparency. Melissa was so responsive and it was a relief to me to know my parents were in a safe, clean and lovely place within walking distance of us. Now they’re excited to visit us again and stay in Melissa’s place!

Neighborhood Home near Capitol Hill Park Free, Walk to Metro
We really enjoyed our 5 day stay at Autumn's place. The neighborhood was beautiful and we enjoyed being able to walk to daily mass at the neighborhood Catholic Church, which was a real treat for us! Autumn was very responsive and accommodating to all of our questions and requests. We had groceries delivered to make breakfast a few mornings and that was really nice. Her place has all the amenities we needed for our stay. Finally, this was the easiest checkout experience we've ever had using AirBnB!

Charming & Walkable Apartment w/ Patio - Sleeps 4
Edward was one of the most proactive, responsive AirBnB stays that we've ever had. Clear instructions via text beforehand and during check out, nicely detailed book with recommendations and details about the stay in a binder inside, pristine place with everything we needed in the kitchen, and even a fun dog that made our trip even more memorable. We lucked out finding this space available and would love to come again.

DC Apartment w/ Private Patio, 1 BD + Den & 1 BA
This AirBnB was enjoyed by my parents while visiting from out of town for a high school graduation. They slept great here and were pleasantly surprised by the nice atmosphere of this basement unit. They particularly appreciated the king size bed, cleanliness and comfortable set up. They were concerned about parking, but easily found parking close by and did not have to worry about being ticketed or having a pass (which is needed in other areas in the neighborhood just a few blocks closer to the metro). Our only critique was that there wasn’t a railing at the start of the steps down to the unit. This made it a bit challenging for less steady guests, particularly after a long day, when returning at night.

Guest Suite in Charming Colonial
Great place to stay! Beautiful kitchen and bathroom with heated floors! What a luxury for a weekend getaway

Modern 1-bedroom English Basement in heart of DC
Staying at this Airbnb in D.C. was an amazing experience from start to finish. The location couldn’t have been better—just minutes away from everything I wanted to explore, from iconic landmarks to vibrant local restaurants and nightlife. The host was truly phenomenal—welcoming, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Communication was smooth, and I felt well taken care of throughout the entire stay. The space itself was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable—felt like a home away from home. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, this place checks all the boxes. I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting D.C. and will definitely be booking again the next time I’m in town!

Garden-level guest suite in heart of Capitol Hill
My friend and I came for pride and was out majority of the time. However while we were at the Airbnb we enjoyed our stay. It was clean, peaceful, and in the perfect location. The Brita and the Keurig was much appreciated! Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

Old Town walkout basement suite with private patio
Dana's place is exactly what you need for a peaceful stay in a beautiful safe neighborhood. Anything you need is within walking distance. Her place is exactly as advertised. Dana's communication was always on point. Qw had no issues and will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the DC area!

Eclectic 1-bedroom place with free street parking

RoseHill Gardens of Crestwood, Washington, DC
I stayed at Vernon’s for 6 weeks while in between places and had a great experience. The flat is located on the ground floor/semibasement but has a lovey view on the garden. So, during a sunny day the living room gets a lot of light. It immediately felt like home and was very cozy. Kitchen is basic but still managed to cook some simple meals. Overall great value for money.

Historic Georgetown from a Bright English Basement
Beautiful home in a perfect location. The home was clean & comfortable. The hosts were amazing. They were accommodating and responsive, and checked-in throughout our stay to make sure we were settled and comfortable. We had an amazing week in DC that was made possible with our Airbnb rental!

Very well appointed kitchen. I really enjoyed being able to easily cook. the washer and dryer were so nice and better than mine at home! The hosts were very responsive and nice. We enjoyed the Studio Ghibli theme and even watched a movie.

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy basement apartment in DC. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and it was quiet at night, so I got great rest. The decor was lovely and thoughtful, with nice little treats that made me feel welcome. The bathroom worked perfectly, and everything I needed was provided. Highly recommend for a peaceful, well-equipped stay!
