We loved staying at Desiree’s place. It was a great spot for our DC trip and enough space for our family. The space was clean and the bed was comfy.

Here’s a slightly more elevated version with a bit more personality and polish: We had a wonderful stay here. The home was clean, modern, and felt very comfortable and inviting from the moment we arrived. The location couldn’t have been better—right next to Trader Joe’s and surrounded by great restaurants, with all the monuments and museums just a short 10-minute drive away. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to bathroom supplies, and the extra blankets were a thoughtful touch. The living room was especially cozy and perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The host was responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay, which made everything seamless. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We stayed here for a spring break trip and it was perfect! Just a few blocks to a metro station and lots of good places to eat within walking distance. The price was great for the location and size - would recommend staying here for a visit to DC!

Great location! 5 minute walk to metro and Eastern market along with variety of restaurants. Newly renovated space with nicely stocked kitchen. Minimal noise above. No hesitation in recommending this Airbnb!

This was our first Airbnb experience...and it was a very successful one. Desiree's place was in a great location - quick walk to the Metro, and an easy walk to the National Mall. The apartment itself was lovely and very comfortable; it definitely felt like a "home away from home." (So much nicer and more spacious than a comparably-priced hotel!) Desiree was a gracious host who went out of her way to ensure that our visit was a smooth one. We had a wonderful DC visit, and our stay at Desiree's place added immensely to such a memorable trip.

I rented this apartment for my parents for a month, and they loved it! The apartment is brand new, it comes with everything you need, plus alarm system and central air as well. Also, there's a futon and extra blanket just in case. The location is very desirable, not only its steps away from metro station, and downtown area, it's also right next to a super market. How convenient!! Desiree was an amazing host, we booked the place a couple days prior to move in date, she was able to accommodate us with the short notice. I barely had any issue during the stay, whenever I had questions, Desiree usually replied within a couple hours or sooner. During our stay, my dad decided to rent a car for two weeks, Desiree was able to get us street parking permit right away. She is very friendly and delightful to work with. We would love to stay with Desiree again whenever we are in town. I highly recommend this apartment!!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Braddock House. We preferred staying outside of DC and chose this house for its proximity to the metro. This was a friend trip (two moms, three kids) and we really enjoyed how spacious the house was. Each family had a full bath for privacy. The boys loved sleeping in loft and having their own space. And of course all of the kids loved the game room in the basement. We enjoyed going out to dinner and exploring Alexandria, but also loved how close Trader Joe’s was. We grabbed breakfast food and appetizers to make use of the kitchen. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Desiree!
