Great place to stay

I stayed with my family there, 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The apartment is really lovely and well kept. All working fine and with personality, I particularly dislike hotels that have no atmosphere and no personal touch. This apartment is exactly the opposite, cosy, lovingly decorated and it is great to greet Victoria and her pets when leaving and arriving. Location is fantastic with all amenities you need to have a great time in Washington. Highly recommended.

Cozy top floor in a beautiful nabe.

Victoria enriched our trip to DC by recommending places and providing info. We got the insider tips. Her place is clean and well appointed. She had everything we needed and thought of everything. It was a great place to stay in DC. Train is on the corner, as is a full shopping center and chain and ethnic restaurants.

So happy with our stay here!! :)

Our son got a job in DC and we needed a place to stay to help him transition into a Columbia Heights apartment. Victoria's place was PERFECT.... or should I say PURRRRFECT? She has some lovely pets that will also greet you, but the third floor is all yours (pet-free!). We hope to stay again very soon - when we visit our son. THANK YOU VICTORIA.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria

I'm a novelist, writing mystery/thrillers for adults and historical adventures for YA. ("Shackleton's Stowaway," published by Knopf is my best known.) I was born in Washington DC and have lived here most of my life. I've traveled and worked all over the world and enjoy sharing my city with visitors.

Why they chose this property

Columbia Heights is an historic and diverse neighborhood right in the middle of the city, close to everything. Being 1/2 block to a Metro station makes everything easier!
