LISTING DESCRIPTION: -NO PICTURE FOR THE SHOWER BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL SIZE, VERY SMALL.I'M SO TINY AND WHEN I ENTER THE SHOWER MY ARMS,ELBOWS, AND BACK HITTING THE WALLS!. I ASKED THE HOST WHY THERE IS NO PICTURE FOR IT, SHE SAID BECAUSE IT'S A STANDARD SIZE, IF IT'S REALLY STANDARD SIZE, AGAIN, WHY NO PICTURE FOR THE SHOWER?!. -THE KITCHEN, NO KITCKEN THERE, ONLY A VERY SMALL FRIDGE EXACTLY THESE USED IN HOTEL ROOMS, AND A MICROWAVE PUT IN A VERY SMALL SPACE FOR A CLOTHING CABINET. I KEPT USING THE MICROWAVE FOR STEAMONG FOOD. - THE BATHROOM IS FULL OF ANTS REACHING MY TOOTHBRUSH, THE SINK, TO MY FOOD AND BEDROOM, (POOR SANITATION). - THE TOILET SEWAGE IS CONNECTED TO THE SHOWER DRAINAGE; THE SMELL IS AWFUL. 2.THE HOST'S: - SHE WELCOMED ME FIRST AND GAVE ME SOME MILK AND 4 OATMEAL CUPS, AND I THANKED HER SO MUCH FIRST DAY OF MY ARRIVAL. -THE HOST DID NOT TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE AREAS THAT I SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO. -SECOND DAY WHEN I WANTED TO GO TO WORK, I FOUND THE OUTER DOOR LOCKED THAT I CAN'T GO OUT FROM THE HOUSE. - I CAN'T DO MY LAUNDRY UNLESS IF SHE'S AT HOME, I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE BASEMENT, SHE SAID THAT(ALL HOSTS DO NOT PROVIDE LAUNDRY FACILITIES, AND I'M IN THIS BUSINESS FOR 14 YEARS!. - OPENED MY LETTERS (MAILS) TWICE, WHICH IS A FEDERAL OFFENCE AND FRAUD. - TOLD ME TO PAY 15% TAX IF I LEFT THE PLACE.

Helpful support from the property manager
I wasn't able to stay at this property due to a change in short-term rental requirements for DC, but Charlotte was very helpful in finding another property that met my needs!

A nice studio appt in a great location
The studio is not fancy but clean and well appointed. It is great for one or two persons. It also opens into a pleasant shaded garden that is also available to guests. Finally, you are only a few steps from several excellent restaurants, the public library, a bus route to town and walking and biking paths along the Potomac.

Great for a couple exploring the city
We wanted to stay in a nice but accessible part of DC for a few days and this was a perfect spot. The place had everything that we needed. Charlotte was really hospitable with great recommendations for things to do around the city.

Fabulous Room to Rent
This rental in a house is unique with 11 windows filling the room with light, and a beautiful octagon/dome ceiling. The room was also built with angled sides. The cozy bay window bed, and all of the room looks out onto a pretty garden. It was also a bonus that on two sides of the garden, no windows are facing the room, so it feels very private. The location is ideal. Within two blocks you can catch a bus to go downtown to see the sights. If you’re adventuresome, close by you can walk through the woods, over a few rocks in a creek, and through a short tunnel coming out at the canal. Two minutes later, you're at Fletcher’s Boat House where you can rent all kinds of boats to enjoy the Potomac River. Charlotte was very accommodating and responsive. Usually a text popped up within minutes to answer questions or lend a hand. A bee had stung me at a pool, and she had more than just Calamine lotion. I was very impressed that within a day after I made a couple of suggestions, she had bought a new fridge and a side table for the bed! She’s a model of not procrastinating. I could use advice from her! I don’t know how I happened upon the VRBO site, but I am extremely glad I did. Charlotte's hospitality and the lovely room made the experience fabulous.
